NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS

Signal Bay, Inc., a Colorado corporation and its subsidiaries provide advisory, management and analytical testing services to the emerging legalized cannabis industry. Signal Bay, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of New York, December 12, 1977 under the name 3171 Holding Corporation. On February 22, 1979 the name was changed to Electronomic Industries Corp. and on February 23, 1983 the name was changed to Quantech Electronics Corp. The Company was reincorporated in the State of Colorado on December 15, 2003. On August 29, 2014, the Company completed a reverse merger with Signal Bay Research, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, and assumed its operations. In September 2014, the Company changed its name from Quantech Electronics Corp. to Signal Bay, Inc. The Company has selected September 30 as its fiscal year end. Signal Bay, Inc. is domiciled in the State of Colorado, and its corporate headquarters are located in Bend, Oregon.

As a part of and prior to the consummation of the reverse merger, William Waldrop and Lori Glauser, principals of Signal Bay Research, Inc., purchased 28,811,933 shares of the Company (80% of the issued and outstanding common stock) from WB Partners. The merger between the Company and Signal Bay Research was finalized and closed contemporaneously with the share purchase. As part of this share purchase, Mr. Waldrop and Ms. Glauser became the officers and directors of the Company. Signal Bay Research was acquired through the issuance of 254,188,067 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Mr. Waldrop and Ms. Glauser, pro rata. After the reverse merger, William Waldrop and Lori Glauser individually each own 127,500,000 shares of common stock and 2,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock in the Company. Immediately prior to the reverse merger, neither William Waldrop nor Lori Glauser had any interest in the Company. Immediately after to the reverse, WB Partners owned less than 5% of the common stock. The company filed a Form 10-12G on November 25, 2014, and was determined to be a shell company by the SEC as per the Form 10-12G/A which went effective on January 24, 2015. On January 29, 2015, the company filed an 8-K stating it entered into a material agreement and was no longer a shell company.

After the reverse merger, Signal Bay Research, Inc. continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary providing compliance, research and advisory services for Signal Bay, Inc.

Signal Bay Services was formed on January 25, 2015, as the management services division of Signal Bay.

On September 17, 2015, Signal Bay entered into a share exchange agreement with CR Labs, Inc., an Oregon Corporation, pursuant to which the company issued 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in exchange for 80% of the outstanding common stock of CR Labs, Inc.

EVIO Inc. was formed on April 4, 2016 to become the holding company for all laboratory operations. 

EVIO Labs Eugene was formed on May 23, 2016, as a wholly owned subsidiary of EVIO Inc. Subsequently on May 24, 2016, EVIO Labs Eugene acquired all of the assets of Oregon Analytical Services, LLC, inclusive of client lists, equipment, trade names and personnel.

On June 1, 2016, EVIO Inc. entered into a share purchase agreement to purchase 80% of the outstanding common stock of Smith Scientific Industries, Inc. d/b/a Kenevir Research in Medford, OR. 

On October 19, 2016, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to purchase 100% of the ownership of GreenHaus Analytical Labs, LLC.

On October 26, 2016, the Company entered in to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Green Style Consulting, LLC which was closed on November 1, 2016.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has negative working capital, recurring losses, and does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

In the coming year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with operations and business developments. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.

Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds such as shareholder loans and advances to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings or through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders. 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation 

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and partially owned subsidiaries, all of which have a fiscal year end of September 30. All significant intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The Company consolidates its subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 810, and specifically ASC 810-10-15-8 which states, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, or over 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on Signal Bay, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Signal Bay, Inc.’s financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain amounts have been reclassified on the September 30, 2016 balance sheet to conform to current period presentation. Specifically, websites and domains net of accumulated amortization of $31,178 have been reclassified on the balance sheet to be included in intangibles assets where previously they were included in fixed assets and $100,000 of related party notes payable have been reclassified from long term to current. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.

Financial Instruments

Level 1 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on March 31, 2017:

The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on September 30, 2016:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASC 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” This standard modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted has this standard and determined it does not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, ”Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” This update eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The new standard should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance and the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows for the three or six months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”  The amendments in this update simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2017. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital. However, as the Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset, a corresponding adjustment was recorded to increase the valuation allowance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendments in this update simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing after January 1, 2017. The Company notes that this guidance applies to its reporting requirements and will implement the new guidance accordingly in performing goodwill impairment testing; however, the Company does not believe this update will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Management believes recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Because of the net losses incurred during the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the impacts of dilutive instruments would have been anti-dilutive for the period presented and have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations.

Initially, there will be no dividends due or payable on the Series A Preferred Stock.

Any and all such future terms concerning dividends shall be reflected in an amendment to this Certificate, which the Board shall promptly file or cause to be filed.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this report.

Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.
