NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

DigiPath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. DigiPath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“DigiPath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) supports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training, and brings unbiased cannabis news coverage to the cannabis industry. Our three business units are described below.

 

DigiPath Labs, Inc. plans to set the industry standard for testing all forms of cannabis-based products using FDA-compliant laboratory equipment and processes to report product safety and efficacy. We built our first testing lab in Las Vegas, Nevada, which we opened in June of 2015. We also have plans to open labs in other states in which cannabis use is legal.
   

TNM News Corp. has pioneered the nation’s first and only unbiased marijuana news network that provides news, interviews and education on all things cannabis. TNM News produces original content for its popular website, syndicated radio program, and mobile app to deliver breaking news, informative interviews and compelling education. The TNM News team explores the political, economic, medicinal, scientific, and cultural dimensions of cannabis with politicians, business people, patients, caregivers, and industry leaders.

   
DigiPath Corp. develops digital microscopy systems to create, store, manage, analyze and correlate data collected through virtual microscopy for plant and cell based industries.

 

On April 9, 2014, the Company entered into various Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued 6,000,000 shares, in the aggregate, of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) in exchange for $6,000,000, in the aggregate, which consisted of cash paid by investors and the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company under advances previously made to the Company by such investors (each agreement, a “Securities Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”). The Company invested $1,250,000 of the gross proceeds received from the sale of Series A Preferred into its DigiPath, Corp. subsidiary for general working capital purposes in its existing digital pathology business. The remaining gross proceeds are being used to fund the Company’s cannabis-related lines of business. The securities were sold pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated under Regulation D thereunder.

 

On May 14, 2014, the Company completed a private placement offering to accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 4,420,000 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds of $2,210,000 to the Company. The gross proceeds are being used to fund the Company’s cannabis-related lines of business. The securities were sold pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated under Regulation D thereunder.

 

Effective May 27, 2015, the Company’s common stock split on a 1 for 10 basis (1:10) (“Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares were issued, and no cash or other consideration was paid in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company issued one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split common stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Company was authorized to issue 900,000,000 shares of common stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s authorized shares decreased ratably to 90,000,000 shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock, or the Company’s authorized preferred stock. Unless otherwise stated, all share and per share information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DigiPath, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DigiPath Labs, Inc., TNM News Corp., GroSciences, Inc., and DigiPath, Corp. As of April 19, 2014, DigiPath Corp. issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 6,000,000 shares of common stock, which, if exercised in total would represent approximately two thirds (66.67%) of the equity of the subsidiary, resulting in dilution of DigiPath, Inc’s. ownership to approximately one third (33.33%). The fair value of the warrants resulted in a non-controlling interest of $343,533, which was recorded as a reduction to total stockholder’s equity on the Company’s balance sheet. No continued allocation of the non-controlling interest in the equity of the subsidiary has been recognized, as the warrants haven’t been exercised and DigiPath, Inc. is still currently in control of 100% of the interests of the subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

ASC 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company performed a review of its material tax positions. During the period from October 5, 2010 through June 30, 2015, there were no increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during the period, there were no decreases in unrecognized tax benefits relating to settlements with taxing authorities, and there were no reductions to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

 

The Company has elected to classify any interest or penalties recognized with respect to any unrecognized tax benefits as income taxes. During the period from October 5, 2010 through June 30, 2015, the Company did not recognize any amounts for interest or penalties with respect to any unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2015, no amounts for interest or penalties with respect to any unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as of June 30, 2015. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
   
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
   
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payables and accrued expenses approximates their fair values due to their short-term maturities at June 30, 2015.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

 

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists of digital slide scanners and slide scanner parts.

 

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The useful lives are as follows: machinery 2 to 5 years, software 3 years, trade show booths 3 to 5 years, and leasehold improvements to the extent of the initial term of the lease. Software is amortized over the life of the license, or to the extent software is purchased, it is amortized over 3 years. Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the historically recorded asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to other income/expense.

 

Long-Lived Assets

Management assesses the carrying values of property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to the extent possible. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Our intellectual property is comprised of indefinite-lived brand names acquired and have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these brand names will contribute cash flows to the Company perpetually. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs when the products or services are completed in accordance with the contracts we have with clients. In connection with our products and services arrangements, when we are paid in advance, these amounts are classified as deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the agreement.

 

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Due to the Company’s losses in the periods presented, the Company currently has no dilutive securities and as such, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for such periods.

Stock Compensation for Services Rendered

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and ASC 505-50, Equity, Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees (ASC 505-50). 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 of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings, financial position or cash flows.

 

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company determined it has two reportable segments.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which now requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plans, additional disclosures are required. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. These requirements were previously included within auditing standards and federal securities law, but are now included within U.S. GAAP. We have evaluated our disclosures regarding our ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that we are in compliance with the disclosure requirements.

 

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 3 - RECEIVABLES

 

Accounts Receivable

On December 16, 2014, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with GB Sciences, Inc. granting the Company limited commercial rights over the products and services which are being developed under this licensing agreement.

 

These services, when developed, will enable the Company to isolate particular cannabis strains for the purpose of developing tissue from those strains so as to create a consistent brandable product of the customer’s choosing from any such strain. The Company prepaid licensing fees of $300,000, in two equal installments of $150,000, upon execution of the licensing agreement and upon obtaining physical and actual access to a tangible prototype of the machine and related equipment. In the event that the licensor is unable to deliver a tangible, fully operational production machine to the Company by December 31, 2015, the Company is entitled to terminate this licensing agreement and receive a full refund of all amounts advanced, or $300,000.

 

If licensor is successful in developing this equipment, this licensing agreement will continue through its initial five (5) year term and shall renew for successive 3 year periods so long as net sales to third parties is no less than an average of $250,000 per year. Royalty fees due to licensor equal 6% of gross proceeds generated from related services and 40% of equipment sales. Cash payments will resume after prepaid licensing fees, $300,000, have been exhausted under this formula.

NOTE 10 - CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Reverse Stock Split

Effective May 27, 2015, the Company effected the 1 for 10 Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares were issued, and no cash or other consideration was paid in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company issued one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split common stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Company was authorized to issue 900,000,000 shares of common stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s authorized shares decreased ratably to 90,000,000 shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock, or the Company’s authorized preferred stock. Unless otherwise stated, all share and per share information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 6,000,000 have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2015, there are 4,671,000 shares of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding.

 

On April 9, 2014, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregates of 6,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred in exchange for $6,000,000, which consisted of cash paid by investors and the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company under advances previously made to the Company by such investors. Shares of Series A Preferred were initially convertible into common stock based on a conversion formula equal to the price per share ($1.00) divided by a conversion price equal to the lesser of (A) $0.02 and (B) seventy percent (70%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily volume weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) occurring during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date on which the Holder elects to convert any shares of Series A Preferred.

 

On March 13, 2015, following the approval of our Board of Directors and the written consent of the holders of our Series A Preferred, the conversion price of the Series A Preferred was amended to remove the VWAP conversion feature from it, so that the Series A Preferred was convertible into common stock at a fixed price of $0.02 per share. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the conversion price of the Series A Preferred is currently $0.20 per share.

 

The conversion price is adjustable in the event of stock splits and other adjustments in the Company’s capitalization, and in the event of certain negative actions undertaken by the Company. At the current conversion price, the 4,671,290 shares of Series A Preferred outstanding at June 30, 2015 are convertible into 23,356,450 shares of the common stock of the Company. No holder is permitted to convert its shares of Series A Preferred if such conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company immediately after such conversion, unless waived by such holder by providing at least sixty-five days’ notice.

 

Additional terms of the Series A Preferred include the following:

 

The shares of Series A Preferred are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the Board as to the shares of the common stock of the Company into which such Series A Preferred may then be converted, subject to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation described above.
   
Upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets, the shares of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive, prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock, 100% of the purchase price per share of Series A Preferred plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.
   
The Series A Preferred plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon automatically will be converted into common stock, at the then applicable conversion rate, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred.
   
Each share of Series A Preferred will carry a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such Series A Preferred may then be converted, subject to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation described above. The Series A Preferred generally will vote together with the common stock and not as a separate class, except as provided below.
   
Consent of the holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred is required in order for the Company to: (i) amend or change the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or the restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Series A Preferred; (ii) authorize, create or issue shares of any class of stock having rights, preferences, privileges or powers superior to the Series A Preferred; (iii) reclassify any outstanding shares into shares having rights, preferences, privileges or powers superior to the Series A Preferred; or (iv) amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the Series A Preferred.
   
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to unlimited “piggyback” registration rights on registrations by the Company, subject to pro rata cutback at any underwriter’s discretion.

On June 19, 2015, the Company granted 100,000 common stock options as compensation for services to our new Chief Financial Officer. The options vest ratably in quarterly increments over one (1) year beginning September 19, 2015. The options are exercisable until June 19, 2025 at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The estimated value using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model, based on a volatility rate of 237% and a call option value of $0.3274, was $32,744. The options are being expensed over the vesting period. The Company didn’t recognize any stock based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.40 and $-0-, respectively. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. For purposes of determining the expected life of the option, an average of the estimated holding period is used. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U. S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant.

These options were cancelled and re-issued as options under our 2012 plan in the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

 

In addition to options granted under the 2012 Plan, at December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock.

Subsidiary Warrants

On April 19, 2014, DigiPath, Corp., a subsidiary of DigiPath, Inc. which is dedicated to digital microscopy, granted five-year common stock Purchase Warrants to Steven Barbee and Eric Stoppenhagen (the “Consultants”) to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of common stock of DigiPath, Corp. at an exercise price of $0.10 per share over a five (5) year period from the date of grant. The warrant holders cannot exercise more than 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock without 65 days’ notice. The warrants are issued by the Company’s subsidiary, and if exercised in total would represent approximately two thirds (66.67%) of the equity of the subsidiary, resulting in dilution of DigiPath, Inc.’s ownership to approximately one third (33.33%). The Company recorded a total of $343,533 of expense associated with the issuance of these warrants and recorded a non-controlling interest as a reduction to total stockholder’s equity on the Company’s balance sheet because the warrants were issued by the Company’s subsidiary. No continued allocation of the non-controlling interest in the equity of the subsidiary has been recognized, as the warrants haven’t been exercised and DigiPath, Inc. is still currently in control of 100% of the interests of the subsidiary.

 

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS

 

Lease commitment

The Company leases space for its lab operations in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amounts of minimum future annual commitments, including common area maintenance fees, under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

 

2015   $67,624 
2016    196,673 
2017    204,540 
2018    212,722 
2019 and thereafter    388,015 
Total   $1,069,574 

 

In addition to this commitment, the Company pays monthly rent in the aggregate amount of $5,000 for a research office, satellite office storage space, development office, and potential lab space, each of which are rented on a month-to-month basis.

 

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAX

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company determined this valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient profits from its new business model.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company did not recognize any income tax benefit associated with its net loss due to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets generated during the period.

Financing Activities   9,506    7,819,597 
Net increase (decrease) on Cash  $(3,814,641)  $5,866,423 

 

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $2,334,456, compared to $932,833 for the same period ended June 30, 2014. The increase in cash used for operating activities is primarily attributable to the commencement of research, development, and operations surrounding our cannabis lab and broadcasting businesses.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $1,489,691, compared to $1,020,341 for the same period ended June 30, 2014. The increase is attributable to investments made for cannabis testing equipment and leasehold improvements required for our Nevada cannabis testing lab.

 

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $9,506, compared to $7,819,597 for the same period ended June 30, 2014.

 

The success of our growth strategy is dependent upon the availability of additional capital resources on terms satisfactory to management. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common and preferred stock sold in private transactions and may include in the future capital leases and long-term debt. There can be no assurance that we can raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash on hand is adequate to support operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales and shareholder loans in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Management assesses the carrying values of property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to the extent possible. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the year ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company did not recognize any impairment for its property and equipment. For the year ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment loss on intangible assets of $1,003,416 and $-0- respectively. The impairment loss represented the development costs for the intangible assets, which had been capitalized. Although management believes these assets will be utilized by the Company to generate future revenues, since future revenue generation from these assets is uncertain, these amounts were written off.

 

Our intellectual property is comprised of indefinite-lived brand names acquired and have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these brand names will contribute cash flows to the Company perpetually. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired. For the year ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $-0- and $28,336 respectively. The impairment loss represented the carrying value of its intellectual property. Although management believes these assets will be utilized by the Company to generate future revenues, since the revenues generated from these assets to date have been minimal, these amounts were written off.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs when the products or services are completed in accordance with the contracts we have with clients. In connection with our products and services arrangements, when we are paid in advance, these amounts are classified as deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the agreement.

 

Stock Compensation for Services Rendered

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and ASC 505-50, Equity, Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees (ASC 505-50). 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 of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 30, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to a reasonable assurance level of achieving such objectives. However, it should be noted that 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, regardless of how remote.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ending June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
