Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include investment instruments and time deposits purchased with a maturity of three months or less. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts based upon its assessment of the current status of the individual receivables and after using reasonable collection efforts. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was zero.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting solely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value (“NRV”). If necessary, the Company provides allowances to adjust the carrying value of its inventories to NRV when NRV is below cost. There was no such adjustments in 2020 and 2019.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when the related performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the shipment or delivery of products to customers. The Company’s products are sold on cash and credit terms which are established in accordance with standardized industry practices and typically require payment within 30 days of delivery. Costs incurred for sales incentives and discounts are accounted for as reductions in revenue.

Deductions from Revenue

Costs incurred for sales incentives and discounts are accounted for as reductions in revenue. These costs include payments to customers for performing merchandising activities on our behalf, including in store displays, promotions for new items and obtaining optimum shelf space.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred to move finished goods from our sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in the line Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in our Statements of Operations.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of weighted average shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss per common share:

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties. The Company has had no Federal or state tax examinations in the past nor does it have any at the current time. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had Net Operating Loss Carryforwards of approximately $5,100,000 and $5,050,000, respectively, and a Deferred Tax Assets amounting to $1,333,505 and $1,319,434, respectively, which have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance. The Company does not expect the valuation allowance to be reversed within the next twelve months.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity based transactions under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The ASC prescribes accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method.

Share based payment awards are measured at grant date fair value of the equity instrument that an entity is obligated to issue when the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expense, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The ASC aims to to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The Company is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement to the financial statements.

MD&A is organized as follows:

This report includes a number of forward looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  Forward looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.  You should not place undue certainty on these forward looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report.  These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Significant Accounting Policies

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that 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 expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

All of our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s senior management, consisting of the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of MOJO Organics, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our officers concluded that, during the period covered by this annual report, our internal controls over financial reporting were operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
