NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2020

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of CirTran Corporation for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, are not audited. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods and, consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all of our majority-owned subsidiaries, companies over which we exercise control through majority voting rights, and companies in which we have a variable interest and we are the primary beneficiary. We account for our investments in common stock of other companies that we do not control, but over which we can exert significant influence using the cost method.

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2020, include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Products Corp., LBC Products, Inc., and CirTran - Asia, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019, include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Products Corp., CirTran Corporation (Utah), CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Online Corp., CirTran Media Corp., Racore Network, and CirTran - Asia, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. We generate revenue by providing product design services and through the sales of tangible product. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. We determine the transaction price associated with each deliverable based on the unique contract with the customer, typically a purchase order received that we have accepted the terms of. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid, short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We did not hold any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020, or December 31, 2019.

Investment in Securities

Our cost-method investment consists of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $300,000 at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. As we owned less than 20% of that company’s stock as of each date, and no significant influence or control exists, the investment is accounted for using the cost method. We evaluated the investment for impairment and determined there was none during the periods presented.

Property and Equipment

We incur certain costs associated with the design and development of molds and dies for our contract-manufacturing segment. These costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use. At that point, the costs are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives. We hold title to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of products. The capitalized cost, net of accumulated depreciation, associated with molds and dies included in property and equipment at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, was $0 and $9,772, respectively.

Depreciation expense is recognized in amounts equal to the cost of depreciable assets over estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the service life of the improvements. The straight-line method of depreciation and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating results.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. We did not record expenses for the impairment of long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

Financial Instruments with Derivative Features

We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, we have financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a Multinomial Lattice model. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each reporting period.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market value. Cost on manufactured inventories includes labor, material, and overhead. Overhead cost is based on indirect costs allocated to cost of sales, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory. Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost of sales or capitalized as inventory, based on management’s estimate of the benefit of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process. Inventories consist of finished goods as we do not carry raw materials for manufacturing products. 

When there is evidence that the inventory’s value is less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value. We determine market value on current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists. We will seek agreements with manufacturing customers that require them to purchase their inventory items in the event they cancel their business with us.

From time to time, we will place deposits on inventory to be delivered in the future. These deposits are carried as a separate balance sheet component and totaled $65,294 (non-related party) and $125,000 (related party) as of March 31, 2020. There were no deposits on inventory as of December 31, 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have outstanding stock options to directors and employees, which are described more fully in Note 12 – Stock Options and Warrants. We account for our stock options in accordance with ASC 718-10, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as updated, which requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchanged for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718-10 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically the vesting period). There was no impact to our methodology for accounting for equity based compensation as a result of adopting ASC 718-10 and ASU 2018-07.

Stock-based employee compensation was $56 and $600 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, notes payable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

ASC 820-10-15, Fair Value Measurement-Overall-Scope and Scope Exceptions, defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. ASC 820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Accounts payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured using level 3 inputs.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable. There were 254,654,532 potentially issuable shares from the conversions of convertible debentures outstanding that were excluded in dilutive outstanding shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to the anti-dilutive effect these would have on net loss per share. There were no such shares issuable as of March 31, 2019.

Short-term Advances

We have short-term advances with various individuals. These advances are due upon demand, carry no interest, and are not collateralized. These advances are classified as short-term liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that require adoption and that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3—GOING CONCERN AND REALIZATION OF ASSETS

In October 2016, we lost our ability to continue energy drink distribution, our principal source of revenue, after receiving an unfavorable ruling in our suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. We had a working capital deficiency of $38,246,148 and $37,994,597 as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, and a net loss from continuing operations of $277,111 and $199,459 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $78,777,178 and $78,461,806, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish our business plan described in the following paragraphs and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

In the coming year, our foreseeable cash requirements will relate to development of business operations and associated expenses. We may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.

Historically, we have mostly relied upon shareholder loans and advances to finance operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings, if any, or through future public or private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors, although we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain such financing. Our failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

NOTE 4—PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment and estimated service lives consist of the following:

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we disposed of all of our remaining assets as part of our adoption of our new agreement to develop and distribute certain products. There was no consideration received upon disposal resulting in a net loss equal to the net book value of $9,771 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We recorded $0 and $573 of depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 5—RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions Involving Officers, Directors, and Stockholders

In 2007, we issued a 10% promissory note to a family member of our president in exchange for $300,000. The note was due on demand after May 2008. There were no repayments made during the periods presented. At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the principal amount owing on the note was $151,833 and $151,833, respectively.

On March 31, 2008, we issued to this same family member, along with two other company shareholders, promissory notes totaling $315,000 ($105,000 each). Under the terms of these three $105,000 notes, we received total proceeds of $300,000 and agreed to repay the amount received plus a 5% borrowing fee. The notes were due April 30, 2008, after which they were due on demand, with interest accruing at 12% per annum. We made no payments towards the outstanding notes during the periods presented. The principal balance owing on the notes as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, totaled $72,466 and $72,466, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made repayments to related parties of $146,203 and advances of $10,000 were received from related parties. Additionally, related parties paid expenses totaling $4,000 directly to vendors on our behalf. There was $608,182 and $738,655 of short-term advances due to related parties as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. The advances are due on demand and as such included in current liabilities.

We have agreed to issue stock options to Iehab Hawatmeh, our president, as compensation for services provided as our chief executive officer. The terms of this employment agreement require us to grant options to purchase 6,000 shares of our stock each year, with an exercise price equal to the fair market price of our common stock as of the grant date. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we granted options to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock relating to this employee agreement. There were also options to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock that expired during the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was 30,000 and 30,000 outstanding stock options held by Iehab Hawatmeh as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. See Note 6 – Other Accrued Liabilities and Note 12 – Stock Options and Warrants.

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we owed our president a total of $900,339 and $903,740 in unsecured advances. The advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by our board of directors under a 5% borrowing fee. The borrowing fees were waived by our president on these loans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made deposits with a related party inventory supplier totaling $125,000.

NOTE 6—OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued tax liabilities consist of delinquent payroll taxes, interest, and penalties owed by us to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax entities.

Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

Other accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, include a non-interest-bearing payable totaling $45,000 that is due on demand.

Accrued payroll and compensation liabilities consist of the following:

Stock option expenses consist of employee stock option expenses.

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims

Various vendors, service providers, and others have asserted legal claims in previous years. These creditors generally are not actively seeking collection of amounts due them, and we have determined that the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote and will seek to compromise and settle at a deep discount any of such claims that are asserted for collection. These amounts are included in our current liabilities. We have not accrued any liability for claims or judgments that we have determined to be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which generally is eight years for judgments in Utah.

Playboy Enterprises, Inc.

Our affiliate, Play Beverages, LLC, filed suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc., in Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court in October 2012 asserting numerous claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference. Playboy responded with a counterclaim of breach of contract and trademark infringement. After proceedings in October 2016, the court awarded a judgment to Playboy of $6.6 million against Play Beverages and CirTran Beverage Corp., our subsidiary. The court denied our motion for a new trial and awarded Playboy treble patent infringement damages and attorney’s fees. We filed a notice of appeal in July 2017 and again in March 2018. Playboy has initiated collection efforts but has recovered no funds. In September 2018, the appellate court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court. We have accrued $17,205,599 as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, related to this judgment, which is included in liabilities in discontinued operations.

Delinquent Payroll Taxes, Interest, and Penalties

In November 2004, the IRS accepted our amended offer in compromise (the “Offer”) to settle delinquent payroll taxes, interest, and penalties, which requires us to pay $500,000, remain current in our payment of taxes for five years, and forego claiming any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015 or until we pay taxes on future profits in an amount equal to the taxes of $1,455,767 waived by the Offer. In June 2013, we entered into a partial installment agreement to pay $768,526 in unpaid 2009 payroll taxes, which requires us to pay the IRS 5% of cash deposits. The monthly payments are to continue until the account balances are paid in full or until the collection statute of limitation expires on October 6, 2020. There was $1,048,756 and $1,048,756 due as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Employment Agreements

We engage Iehab Hawatmeh, our president and chief executive officer, through an employment agreement entered in August 2009 and amended in September 2017. In July 2017, Mr. Hawatmeh had resigned all positions with us to pursue other business activities, thereby effectively terminating the agreement. However, the amendment to his employment agreement in September 2017 reinstated Mr. Hawatmeh to his previous positions, with a salary in an amount to be determined. Among other things, the reinstated employment agreement: (a) grants options to purchase a minimum of 6,000 shares of our stock each year, with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock as of the grant date, for the maximum term allowed under our stock option plan; (b) provides for health insurance coverage, cell phone, car allowance, life insurance, and director and officer liability insurance, as well as any other bonus approved by our board; and (c) includes additional incentive compensation as follows: (i) a quarterly bonus equal to 5% of our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the applicable quarter; (ii) bonuses equal to 1% of the net purchase price of any acquisitions we complete that are directly generated and arranged by Mr. Hawatmeh; and (iii) an annual bonus (payable quarterly) equal to 1% of our gross sales of all products, net of returns and allowances.

We also have an oral agreement with our other director that requires us to issue options to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock each year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we granted options to purchase 8,000 and 6,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Hawatmeh and Ms. Hollinger, respectively. We recorded expenses totaling $56 and $600 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for these options.

We have no other agreements requiring the grant of options.

NOTE 8—NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable consisted of the following:

There was $169,377 and $157,535 of accrued interest due on these note as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 9—CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Convertible debentures consisted of the following:

The convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of $100 or the lowest bid price for the 20 trading days prior to conversion.

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had accrued interest on the convertible debentures totaling $1,432,497 and $1,399,295, respectively, of which $31,601 and $28,199 was current and $1,400,896 and $1,371,098 was long term, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the debentures were convertible into 254,614,632 and 568,989,796 shares of our common stock.

NOTE 10—DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As discussed in Note 9 - Convertible Debentures, we have entered into five separate agreements to borrow a total of $2,665,528 with the outstanding principal and interest being convertible at the holder’s option into common stock of the company at the lesser of $100 (notes one through four) or $0.10 (note five) or the lowest closing bid price in the prior 20 trading days. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives for convertible debentures and associated warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation model as of March 31, 2020, using the following assumptions:

The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter, which resulted in a loss of $69,214 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the fair market value of the derivatives aggregated $969,046 and $894,079, respectively.

NOTE 11—STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. No shares were issued during the periods presented. We had a total of 4,500,417 common shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we effected a 1:1000 reverse stock split of our outstanding stock. The impacts of the reverse stock split have been retroactively stated.

NOTE 12—STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Stock Incentive Plans

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we granted 8,000 and 6,000 options to purchase shares of common stock to employees.

The 8,000 options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020, were valued using the following assumptions: estimated five-year term, estimated volatility of 91%, and a risk-free rate of 1.61%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we granted 6,000 stock options relating to the employment agreement with Mr. Hawatmeh. The fair market value of the options was $600, using the following assumptions: estimated seven-year term, estimated volatility of 567%, and a risk-free rate of 2.38%.

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had no unrecognized compensation related to outstanding options that have not yet vested at year-end that would be recognized in subsequent periods. See Note 6 – Other Accrued Liabilities for a description of amounts of option expenses included in accrued payroll and compensation expense.

NOTE 13—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

At October 21, 2016, we exited the beverage licensing and distribution business. The assets and liabilities associated with this business are displayed as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, as a result. Additionally, the revenues and costs associated with this business are displayed as losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Total assets and liabilities included in discontinued operations were as follows:

Net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, were comprised of the following components:

NOTE 14—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated all events occurring subsequent to the financial statements and determined there are no additional items to disclose.

However, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a global pandemic. We are monitoring the situation closely and our response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. We have taken measures to mitigate the impact on our business operations and overall financial performance, which continue to evolve. We are also constantly evaluating and responding to the impact of the pandemic on our supply chain as compared to product demand. In addition, we actively monitor COVID-19-related developments and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, vendors, and stockholders. The effects of these operational modifications will be reflected in current and future reporting periods.

On May 14, 2020, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to indicate our reliance on the Order of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Release No. 34-88465) in connection with filing our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as a result of the circumstances set forth below. Specifically, because our executive team and contract outside accountant were dislocated and delayed as they began working remotely in a “shelter-at-home” environment in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was exacerbated by a 5.7 Richter scale earthquake and persistent ongoing aftershocks in the Salt Lake Valley, we were unable to prepare and file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, in March 2020. Because we had not yet completed our audited yearend financial statements and filed our annual report, we were not able to timely prepare our financial statements and corresponding quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Based on our diversified expertise in manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and technology services in a wide variety of consumer products, including tobacco products, medical devices, and beverages, around the world, we have an innovative and consumer-focused approach to brand portfolio management, resting on a strong understanding of consumers domestically, and we have established a footprint in more than 50 key, international markets.

We devoted most of 2019 to exploring new product opportunities in a number of products. In late 2019, through our new, wholly owned subsidiary, LBC Products, Inc., we entered into a new, five-year Exclusive Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with GloBrands, LLC, to manufacture, distribute, and sell condoms, electronic tobacco products, cigars, energy drinks, water beverages, and related merchandise, all using the HUSTLER® brand name. These efforts continue. In early 2020, we completed phase one of our development of all HUSTLER®-branded products, which enabled us to receive sales revenue of $2,082 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We expect to receive additional payments in 2020.

All share and per-share amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a 1000-to-one reverse split of our common stock effective September 2019.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we generated revenues of $2,082 and cost of revenues of $1,481 from products sold during the period. We did not generate revenues or cost of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $82,660 and $74,597, respectively, representing an increase of $8,063, or 11%, in the current period. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020, is the result of a re-focus of operations associated with new customer agreements that did not exist during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020, consisted of $156,067 in interest expense, losses on the fair value measurement of derivative liabilities of $69,214, other income of $40,000 and losses of the disposal of equipment of $9,771. Other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019, included $125,592 for interest expense and other income of $730.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenues. Our accumulated deficit was $78.8 million at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had current assets of $302,942 and $20,024, respectively, and current liabilities of $38.6 million and $38.0 million, respectively, creating working capital deficits as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, of approximately $38.0 million and $38.0 million, respectively.

Operating Activities

We have only nominal cash or short-term assets while our current liabilities aggregate $38.6 million as of March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, operations generated $141,709 of net cash, comprised of a net loss from continuing operations of $277,111, noncash items totaling $113,399 consisting of losses recognized from the changes in fair values of derivative liabilities and expense paid by related parties on our behalf, and changes in working capital totaling $305,421. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, operations used $33,145 of net cash, comprised of a net loss from continuing operations of $199,459, noncash items totaling $49,490 consisted of expenses paid by related parties on our behalf, and changes in working capital totaling $116,824.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, financing activities used $132,114 of cash, compared to generating $43,922 of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, consisted of advances from convertible debentures totaling $15,000, repayments of bank overdrafts of $1,611, repayments on related-party payables of $146,203, advances from related parties of $10,700, and repayments on loans payable $10,000. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019, consisted of advances from related-party loans totaling $43,972 and repayments on notes payable of $50.

Our Capital Resources and Anticipated Requirements

Our monthly operating costs total approximately $28,000 per month, excluding approximately $50,000 of accruing interest expense and capital expenditures. We continue to focus on generating revenue and reducing our monthly business expenses through cost reductions and operational streamlining. We are sales revenue under our GloBrands agreement and expect to receive additional payments during the balance of the year. Currently, we do not have enough cash on hand to sustain our business operations, and we expect to access external capital resources in the near future.

In conjunction with our efforts to commercialize new products, we are actively seeking infusions of capital from investors. In our current financial condition, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing. Even if we did acquire additional debt, we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets.

Accordingly, we are looking to obtain equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs. We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining such capital. If we were to issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this would dilute the value of our common stock and existing stockholders’ positions. We also have no authorized but unissued capital available, and we are dependent on the Amendment becoming effective in order to obtain any new equity financing.

Convertible Debentures

We currently have an amended, restated, and consolidated secured convertible debenture with Tekfine, LLC, an unrelated entity, with a maturity date of April 30, 2027, to the extent not previously converted. The amended debenture had a total outstanding principal balance of $2.4 million, with accrued interest of $1.4 million as of March 31, 2020. We also have seven additional convertible debentures with Tekfine with a maturity dates between August 8, 2020, and December 23, 2020, totaling $275,000, unless earlier converted. The convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of $100 or $0.10 (depending on the instrument) or the lowest bid price for the 20 trading days prior to conversion.

Going Concern

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we not be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the notes to our December 31, 2019 financial statements. Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We cannot assure that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. We generate revenue by providing product design services and through the sales of tangible product. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. We determine the transaction price associated with each deliverable based on the unique contract with the customer, typically a purchase order received that we have accepted the terms of. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have outstanding stock options to directors and employees. We account for our stock options in accordance with ASC 718-10, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchanged for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718-10 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, typically the vesting period.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets, liabilities, the carry forward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Research tax credits are recognized as used.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, notes payable, and accounts payable approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of our debt obligations approximate fair value.

ASC 820-10-15, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. FASB ASC 820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Accounts payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured using level 3 inputs.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that require adoption and that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020, to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods prescribed by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
