DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Digipath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. Digipath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Digipath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data analytics and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, and supports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training. Our mission is to provide pharmaceutical-grade analysis and testing to the cannabis industry, under ISO-17025:2017 guidelines, to ensure consumers and patients know exactly what is in the cannabis they ingest and to help maximize the quality of our clients’ products through research, development, and standardization. Digipath has been operating a cannabis-testing lab in Nevada since 2015 and hopes to open labs in other states that have legalized the sale of cannabis, beginning with California or Arizona.

 

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 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, 2021. 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.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which were under common control and ownership at March 31, 2022:

 

    Jurisdiction of      
Name of Entity(1)   Incorporation    Relationship 
Digipath, Inc.(2)   Nevada    Parent 
Digipath Labs, Inc.   Nevada    Subsidiary 
Digipath Labs CA, Inc.(3)   California    Subsidiary 
Digipath Labs S.A.S.(4)   Colombia    Subsidiary 
VSSL Enterprises, Ltd.(5)   Canada    Subsidiary 
TNM News Corp.(6)   Nevada    Subsidiary 

 

(1)All entities are in the form of a corporation.
(2)Holding company, which owns each of the wholly-owned subsidiaries. All subsidiaries shown above are wholly-owned by Digipath, Inc., the parent company.
(3)Formed during the second fiscal quarter of 2021, but has not yet commenced significant operations.
(4)Formed during the first fiscal quarter of 2019, but has not yet commenced significant operations.
(5)Acquired on March 11, 2020.
(6)Minimal activity, dissolved on July 28, 2021.

 

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. The parent company and subsidiaries will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “Digipath” or “DIGP”. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada and substantially all of its customers are within the United States.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products for licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). 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 at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, which results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 affects the diluted earnings per share calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 allows entities to use a modified or full retrospective transition method and is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had negative working capital of $1,598,387, accumulated recurring losses of $18,615,574, and only $82,769 of cash on hand, which is not sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company discloses the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, 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 (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively:

 

   Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2022

The fair value of our intellectual properties are deemed to approximate book value, and are considered Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35.

 

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs for the six months ended March 31, 2022 or the year ended September 30, 2021.

 

Note 4 – Note Receivable

 

On various dates between December 28, 2018 and June 13, 2019, we loaned Northwest Analytical Labs, Inc. a total of $95,000. The loans bear interest at an annual rate of 10%, are evidenced by secured demand notes, and are secured by a lien on the borrower’s assets. An allowance for doubtful accounts for the full value of the notes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of collectability.

 

On various dates between August 23, 2021 and March 31, 2022, we loaned C3 Labs, Inc. (“C3 Labs”) a total of $1,003,622. The loans bear interest at an annual rate of 8%. These loans are evidenced by secured demand notes, and are secured by a lien on the borrower’s assets and have a maturity date of August 23, 2022. The Company has recorded interest income of $15,120 during the six months ended March 31, 2022 with total accrued interest of $25,605 as of March 31, 2022.

 

The loans were made in connection with a potential acquisition of a controlling interest in C3 Labs. On March 11, 2022, the Company notified C3 Labs of its termination of the letter of intent. The Company is currently in possession of equipment of C3 Labs, which it is in the process of liquidating. The Company anticipates that the proceeds of such liquidation will be sufficient to repay the Company in full all amounts owed to it by C3 Labs under the secured loans.

Note 6 – Leases

 

The Company leases its operating and office facility under a non-cancellable real property lease agreement that expires on August 31, 2025. The Company also has a financing lease for lab equipment subject to the recently adopted ASU 2016-02. In the locations in which it is economically feasible to continue to operate, management expects to enter into a new lease upon expiration. The real property lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Our gross margins were approximately 35% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 34% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which translated to $20,883 of decreased gross profit from our $28,425 of decreased revenues received in the current period.

Our change in allowance for doubtful accounts improved during the current period as the Nevada tourism market began to open up again and our customers’ cash flows improved.

Our operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $313,173, compared to operating income of $2,620 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $315,793, or 12,053%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

 

   2022   2021 
Operating Activities  $(190,286)  $(94,603)

Financing Activities   754,991    126,766 
Net Decrease in Cash  $(213,163)  $30,957 

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $190,286, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $94,603 for the same period ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our increased net loss.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $777,868, compared to $1,206 for the same period ended March 31, 2022. The increase in cash used in investing was a result of secured loans we made to C3 Labs, Inc. in connection with a potential acquisition. On March 11, 2022, the Company notified C3 Labs of its termination of the letter of intent. The Company is currently in possession of equipment of C3 Labs, which it is in the process of liquidating.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2022, our balance of cash on hand was $82,769, and we had negative working capital of $1,598,387 and an accumulated deficit of $18,615,574 resulting from recurring losses. We currently may not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and expand our lab testing business. As we continue to develop our lab testing business and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs.

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit, and, as set forth above, the Company’s cash on hand is not sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation. In addition, additional financing may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

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.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products for licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

 

22
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists of 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 at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are 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 recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures 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, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
