NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 Lexington Corp. (“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, niche companies with high growth potential. 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.

 

Description of Business

 

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

 

We Three, LLC dba Affordable Housing Initiative (“AHI”), acquired May 15, 2014

Romeo’s Alpharetta, LLC dba Romeo’s NY Pizza (“Romeo’s Pizza”), acquired June 30, 2014

Edge View Properties, Inc., (“Edge View”) acquired July 16, 2014

Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC (“Repicci’s Group”), acquired August 10, 2016

Platinum Tax Defenders, LLC (“Platinum Tax”), acquired July 31, 2018

JM Enterprises 1, Inc. dba Key Tax Group (“Key Tax”), acquired May 2019

Red Rock Travel Group, LLC (“Red Rock”), acquired July 31, 2018, discontinued May 31, 2019

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying March 31, 2020 interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other periods.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardiff, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza; Edge View Properties, Inc.; Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC, Platinum Tax Defenders LLC JM Enterprises 1, Inc. and Red Rock Travel Group, LLC which is shown as Discontinued Operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications would have no material effect on the reported financial results.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Change in Capital Structure

 

In January 2020, the Company announced a reverse split of several of its Preferred Stock Classes which has been given retrospective treatment in the consolidated financial statements unaudited condensed.

 

In May 2020, the Company affected a reverse split of Common Stock which has been given retrospective treatment in the condensed consolidated financial statements affected 1:10,000.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The outbreak of a novel coronavirus throughout the world, including the United States, during early calendar year 2020 has caused widespread business and economic disruption through mandated and voluntary business closings and restrictions on the movement and activities of people (“COVID-19 Pandemic”). We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID19 Pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the COVID-19 Pandemic is rapidly evolving in many countries, including the United States and other markets where the Company operates. It is expected that many of the Company's customers and suppliers could be impacted by these closings and restrictions which could materially and adversely affect demand for our products, our ability to obtain or deliver inventory or services, and our ability to collect accounts receivables as customers face higher liquidity and solvency risk. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause an economic downturn, recession, or depression. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business. Policymakers around the world have responded with fiscal and monetary policy actions to support the economy. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remains uncertain.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts as of the adoption date. As the adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial adjustment, no adjusted were made to the prior periods to be in complaicne with Topic 606.

 

 

 

 11 

 

 

The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized:

 

  (1) identifying the contract with a customer,

 

  (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

 

  (3) determining the transaction price,

 

  (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and

 

  (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 

The Company generates revenue from our subsidiaries primarily on a cash basis for sale of food items and monthly rentals of mobile homes. As allowed by a practical expedient in Topic 606, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

 

Franchisor Income

 

Our subsidiary Repicci, generates some revenues through franchise fees. Revenues from franchise fees are recognized in accordance with guidance Topic 606, as the fees are earned. One-third of the revenues are recognized within 60 days and the balance are recognized over the life of the franchise agreement, which can be up to 15 years.

 

Tax Services

 

Our tax services subsidiaries receive payments in advance of service and are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized as services are provided.

 

Rental Income

 

The Company’s rental revenue is from mobile home leases. The expired leases are considered month-to-month leases. In accordance with section 605- 10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition, the cost of property held for leasing by major classes of property according to nature or function, and the amount of accumulated depreciation in total, is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There are no contingent rentals included in income in the accompanying statements of operations. With the exception of the month-to-month leases, revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis and amortized into income on a monthly basis, over the lease term.

 

Restaurant Sales

 

Revenue from restaurant sales were recognized when food and beverage products are sold. We report revenue net of sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.

 

 

 

 12 

 

   

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at gross amounts due to us. Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges off to expense any balances that are determined to be uncollectible. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had accounts receivable of $123,358 and $118,125, respectively. Accounts receivables primarily are generated from our subsidiaries in their normal course of business.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. We periodically review historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.

 

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

 

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property, equipment or leasehold improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

Classification Useful Life
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 5 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements 10 years or lease term, if shorter

   

Leases

 

In accordance with FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,” Leases” (Topic 842), the Company recognizes their operating leases on the balance sheet as an asset and liability for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 became effective on January 1, 2019. Leases under this ASU are presented on the balance sheet as right of use asset and liability. These amount are presented as right of use - asset and right of use – liability on the balance sheet at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and indefinite-lived brands are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. We believe such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants.

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

Valuation of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

 

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10”), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with freestanding derivative instruments such as convertible promissory notes, on their issuance date to determine whether they would be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

For option based simple derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, we record a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital).

 

When the Company records a BCF which is not a conventional convertible, the fair value of the BCF is recorded as a derivative liability with an offset against the face amount of the respective debt instrument which is and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level Input Definition

 

Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

 

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of our financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Fair Value of BCF Derivative Liability – March 31, 2020   $     $     $ 8,059,024     $ 8,059,024  
                                 

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Fair Value of BCF Derivative Liability – December 31, 2019   $     $     $ 3,204,636     $ 3,204,636  

  

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account account for stock based compensation in which we obtain employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718-10-30. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

  

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

We previously adopted ASU No 2018-07 for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

For the periods ending March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

FASB ASC Subtopic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), provides for the calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, warrants, and debts convertible into common shares. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is not reflected in diluted earnings per common share, as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed 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. We have sustained operating losses since its inception and have negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. 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, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our ability 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 us to fund its cashflow shortfalls and pursue new acquisitions. There can be no assurance 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 it. Should we 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 we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should we not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cause cessation our operations.

 

Accounting Pronouncements

 

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 our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

Some of the Convertible Notes issued as described below included an anti-dilution provisions that allowed for the adjustment of the conversion price. We 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, we 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, we determined that the conversion features of the Notes issued in connection therewith are not considered indexed to the our stock and characterized the value of the conversion feature of such notes as derivative liabilities.

 

The balances of convertible notes at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $1,939,958 and $1,893,293, respectively.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

We measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

 

 

 21 

 

 

The carrying amounts of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

We recognize our derivative liabilities as level 3 and value these derivatives using the methods discussed in note 12. We believe that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, we recognize 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 terms in the notes that are subject to volatility and market price of our underlying common stock.

 

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

  

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. During the 3 months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s stock price decreased from its initial valuation and thus, the derivative liability also decreased. Generally, as the stock price decreases for each of the related convertible notes that have an embedded derivative liability, the value of the derivative liability decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s convertible notes with an embedded derivative liability.

 

We used the Black-Scholes Model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities which also include amounts related to discontinued operations of $8,059,024and $3,204,636 on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, . We recorded a net increase of $4,971,499 and $2,620,389 in its derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020:

 

Derivative Liability, December 31,2019  $3,240,636 
Day 1 Loss   566,998 
Discount on derivatives   231,000 
Derivatives settled   (384,111)
Mark to market adjustment   4,404,500 
Derivative Liability, March 31, 2020  $8,059,023 

 

The above tables also include derivative liabilities related to warrants to purchase common stock of $1,227 at March 31, 2020. Net loss for the period included mark-to-market adjustments relating to the liabilities held during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the amounts of $4,435.

 

 

 

 22 

 

  

The valuation of the derivative liabilities attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes Model”) using the following assumptions:

 

      For the Periods Ended  
      March 31, 2020       December 31, 2019  
Volatility     470.0% - 600.2%       378.8% - 1,872.7%  
Risk-free interest rate     .17% - .23%       1.55% - 1.62%  
Expected term     .25 – 2.5       .47 – 2.8  

 

For the three months March 31, 2020 and year-ended December 31, 2019, the Company has recorded derivative liabilities associated with convertible debt instruments, as more fully discussed at Note 10.

 

11. CAPITAL STOCK

 

Preferred Stock

 

During January 2020, we facilitated a reverse split of several our Preferred Stock Classes which has been given retrospective treatment in these condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to the reverse stock split, management established new rights & privileges for certain classes of preferred stock. The reverse split ratio ranges from 1.6:1 to 307.7:1 resulting in a reclassification of $98,989 from preferred stock to additional paid in capital. The rights and privileges were changed with unanimous consent of all parties. All holders agreed to replace existing rights and privileges with new uniform conditions and a simplified uniform preferred $4 per share stated value.

  

Common Stock

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued the following transactions:

 

65,324 shares for conversion of convertible notes payable (see Footnote 10).

 

On January 9, 2020, we issued 25,000 warrants and a free trading common share certificate in the amount of 3,500 shares of common stock for settlement of a threatened lawsuit.

 

These transactions are reflecting a retrospective treatment of common stock that was a reverse split effective in May 2020.

 

12. WARRANTS

 

 

The initial and ending valuation of the warrants as of March 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

   Three Months
March 31, 2020
 
Initial Valuation  $6,135 
Ending Value  $1,227 

 

The table below set forth the assumptions for the Black-Scholes Model on each initial date and December 31, 2019:

 

   Three Months
March 31, 2020
Volatility  470.0% - 600.2%
Risk-free interest rate  .15% - 1.60%

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements including the related notes, and the other financial information included in this report. For ease of reference, “the Company”, “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Cardiff Lexington Corp., and Legacy Card Company, Inc. (d/b/a: Mission Tuition) unless otherwise stated.

 

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information

 

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for stock of Cardiff Lexington Corp. and other matters. Statements in this report that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to the future business prospects, revenue and income of Cardiff Lexington Corp., wherever they occur, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the senior management of Cardiff Lexington Corp. on the date on which they were made, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of our business. Because the factors discussed in this report could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward looking statements, except as required by law.

 

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.

 

During our startup phase we were not profitable and generated minimal revenue and no profit.

 

As of this filing, though still not profitable, Cardiff is generating significantly higher revenue which helps mitigate the risk. Currently we have a small amount of consolidated stockholders’ equity. As a result, though pleased with our progress and 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, Repicci’s Franchise Group, Platinum Tax Defenders and Key Tax Group

 

Future revenue growth 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 have incurred operating losses from our inception, we still consider ourselves a going concern.

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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:

 

· our ability to acquire profitable businesses within Cardiff; and

 

· our ability to generate substantial revenues; and

 

· our ability to obtain additional financing

 

 

 

 27 

 

 

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. In 2014 the Company developed into a Holding Company focusing on acquiring small to medium size Companies that meet the following criteria: 1, Profitable; 2. Good Management; 3. little to no debt. Our efforts are focused on development and growth of our existing subsidiaries and acquiring new acquisitions that meet our requirements. Further, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining a 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 companies acquired will remain cash flow positive and they could possibly lose revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that the acquisitions will continue as profitable businesses, and they 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:

 

· The competitive environment in the specific field of business acquired; and

 

· Our ability to acquire the right businesses that meet customers’ needs; and

 

· Our ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment.

 

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.

 

 

 

 28 

 

 

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:

 

· actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
   
· changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates;
   
· changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours;
   
· announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
   
· introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for our products;
   
· departure of key personnel.

 

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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

Revenues were $1,117,397 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to revenues of $860,529 for the same period in 2019 an increase of 29.9%. The increase is primarily attributable to incurring revenues from Key Tax Group in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from its acquisition in the second quarter of 2019 and reclassing revenues from Red Rock Travel to loss from discontinued operations.

  

Cost of sales were $480,641 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to cost of sales of $419,939 for the same period in 2019 an increase of 14.5%.

Operating expenses were $892,721 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to operating expenses of $648,530for the same period in 2019 an increase of 25.1%. The increase is primarily attributable to incurring operating expenses from Key Tax Group in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from its acquisition in the second quarter of 2019 offset by discontinuing Red Rock Travel effective May 31, 2019.

 

 

 

The Company has been affected by the economic pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent directives and responses to this crisis taken by the federal, state, and local government. Several of our subsidiaries have been hard-hit like our restaurant franchise operations and tax resolution companies which will affect our short-term operations for 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2020.

 

Several of our subsidiaries were able to secure Payback Protection Program (PPP) loans to sustain operations. At this juncture it is too early for forecast the effect the pandemic will have on revenue from operations over the near term.

 

Furthermore, the stock market has been severely adversely impacted with our stock price experiencing a period of high volatility. In light of current circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company as a public reporting company must evaluate what we should and are obligated to do in order to protect shareholders from the negative effects of this pandemic. In order to adequately sustain funding for 2020 operations and continue our growth through acquisitions the Board Of Directors have initiated a reverse stock split of 10,000:1 which became effective May 2020.

 

Also, the Company entered into an agreement on April 29, 2020 engaging an exclusive financial advisor in connection with a transaction or related series or combination of transactions involving a merger, share capital exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. The advisor is a boutique investment bank created by experienced professionals that have worked together for over a decade, collectively financing over $50 billion of public and private capital raises, restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions.

 

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 March 31, 2020, we had $104,219 in cash and cash equivalents total assets of $5,281,168 and total liabilities of $11,770,316.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $70,191 and $120,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The negative cash flows from operating activities during the periods were primarily attributable to the net losses of $5,052,479 and $4,871,847, respectively. These amounts were partially offset by non-cash expenses related to amortization of debt discount, and change in derivative liability related to convertible notes which were $246,185, and $4,467,534, , respectively. In the 2019 period, the negative cash flows from operating activities was, partially offset by non-cash expenses related amortization of debt discount and change in derivative liability which were $83,369 and $3,923,226, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $73,631 during March 31, 2020 were primarily attributable to proceeds of convertible notes payable in the amounts of $150,000 and distributions of $84,957. For 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $27,541, primarily attributable to proceeds of convertible notes payable in the amounts of $56,616. 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.
