DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
None.
As used herein, the term “we,” “our,” and the “Company” refers to Vapir Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its subsidiaries.
Item 1. | Business |
Vapir, Inc. was incorporated on October 26, 2006 in the State of California. Vapir, Inc. specializes in the revolutionary technology of digital aromatherapy which is the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance and harmonize while freshening the environment with pleasant and distinctive fragrances. We invent, develop and produce revolutionary and easy to use digital aromatherapy devices. The unique value proposition of the Company’s proprietary technology (US Patent 6,095,153) is to prevent the creation of toxic by-products whenever plant materials are inhaled. This is accomplished by using convection heat that induces the safe release of plant essences without burning the source material. Our devices are designed in San Jose, California and manufactured in Guang Dong, China.
Our Industry
In general, “Vaporizers” are battery-powered products that enable users to inhale vapor without smoke, Vaporizers are not like traditional cigarettes, and their construction is comprised of three functional components:
● | Digital temperature control, means you have the ability to choose the warmth of your vaporizer’s heating element. The heating element that vaporizes liquid and/or botanicals so that it can be inhaled; | |
● | vaporizers either heat the liquid or botanicals with direct contact with a heating element (conduction) or by exposing the herb to hot air (convection); and | |
● | Vaporizers require energy when hot. Depending on the intention behind the vaporizer’s design - the energy source will match the portable or stationary model paradigm. |
Our Products
Vaporizers
As of December 31, 2016, we marketed 5 vaporizers, the Prima, VapirRise 2.0 ultimate, VAPIR NO2 Portable Digital Vaporizer and VAPIR Oxygen Mini Corded Vaporizer, and the New Vapir Pen.
Prima
Prima is a digital vaporizer that supports extracts and botanicals. The unit is equipped with a removable/rechargeable lithium battery, a removable stainless steel vapor path and removable mouth piece which allows for easy cleaning, and four (4) pre-set temperatures which maintains pre-set heat levels by turning the heating element on and off as needed. Once the optimal temperature is reached, a green light on the casing will indicate that the device is now ready. This relatively simple technology enables the vaporizers to maintain heat levels.
● | Prima measures in at just 4.7 inches, and weighs 5.7 oz, and comes in four (4) different colors (Blue, Black, Silver, and Orange). |

VapirRise 2.0 Ultimate
The VapirRise 2.0 Ultimate is designed for loose-leaf herbs and essential oils. It supports both balloon inflation and direct inhalation. It can serve up to 4 users simultaneously. It has touch pad controls, an LCD temperature display and medical grade stainless steel vapir path and a ceramic heating element.
As the ceramic heating element of the device reaches the pre-set temperature, a fan blows air through the heating element. A sensor, which is located in the chamber of the unit, will constantly monitor the air temperature and maintain pre-set heat levels by turning the heating element on and off as needed. Once the optimal temperature is reached, a green light on the casing will indicate that the device is now ready. This relatively simple technology enables the vaporizers to maintain heat levels.
This convection vaporizer is a stationary desktop model - which means it isn’t intended for on-the-go consumption. The VapirRise offers an exceptional approach to the at-home vaporization experience.
Users can control the temperature (in both degrees Celsius & Fahrenheit); control the Fan Speed (ten options including a fanless setting); pick between a balloon or hose inhalation methods; and choose to serve up to four people at once with the exclusive hookah adapter.
VAPIR NO2 Portable Digital Vaporizer
The VAPIR NO2 is designed for loose-leaf herbs and direct inhalation. It is compact, portable and rechargeable. It has a medical grade pure brass element, an LCD temperature display and a silent operation. The VAPIR NO2 will be your number one portable vaporizer.
2 |
This compact portable vaporizer features touch-to-heat digital controls, an LCD thermostat, an internal rechargeable battery, and 100% silent operation. The NO2 vaporizer is designed for use with raw herbs and heats up in less than a minute. You can even vaporize while it’s charging.
The NO2 requires little to no maintenance for optimal operation and it even remembers your favorite temperature settings for quick and consistent vapor at the touch of a button.
VAPIR OXYGEN MINI CORDED
The VAPIR Oxygen Mini Corded is designed for loose-leaf herbs and direct inhalation. It is small and lightweight and is a corded vaporizer. It has an LCD temperature display and silent operation. Every portable vaporizer needs to produce clouds, not a mere mist. The Vapir Oxygen lets you live and breathe premium vapor. This herbal vaporizer harnesses premium materials and innovative design to deliver everything you’d expect from a premium vaporizer.
Our Oxygen Vaporizer features digital controls, portable design, and consistent vapor sessions with little maintenance.
VAPIR PEN
The Vapir Pen is a sleek and portable device that may be used with both concentrate and wax substances. It features an ergonomic mouthpiece that leads to a deep chamber. The Vapir Pen comes equipped with two different type of atomizers; the Coil-less Ceramic Atomizer and the Quartz Double-Rod Titanium Atomizer, both with Ceramic Chamber. The temperature controlled battery allows for a range of 3 pre-set temperatures. The Vapir Pen is directly charged through a Micro USB charging port at the bottom of the battery. This feature allows the device to be charged with any regular USB charger anywhere, whether at home or on the go. It is also included a USB charging cord in the box that can be connected directly to the device. The Vapir Pen has an elevated air flow system which reduces the likelihood of clogging or leakage.

Our Vaporizers and Accessories
Our vaporizers are sold with all the essentials that are needed to begin the vaporizing experience. In addition to the vaporizers, we also sell approximately 100 different accessories and spare parts that ranges from replacement batteries, replacement mouthpieces, recharging pieces, and all other essential accessories and spare parts.
Seasonality of our Business
We do not consider our business to be seasonal.
Marketing
We offer our vaporizers and related products through our website, distributors, online stores and retail stores. Retailers of our products include small-box smoke shops, vape stores, and online retailers throughout the United States and the world.
Competition
Competition in the vaporizer industry is intense and we anticipate that competition will likely remain intense for the foreseeable future. We compete with other sellers of vaporizers that are similar to our products and our competitors use the same sales practices and marketing strategies as we use and as a result, we face a continuing challenge in attempting to differentiate our products.
The nature of our competitors is varied as the market is highly fragmented and the barriers to entry into the business are low. Our direct competitors sell products that are substantially similar to ours and through the same channels through which we sell our vaporizers. We compete with these direct competitors for sales through distributors, wholesalers and retailers and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in meeting the competitive challenges that we face that will allow us to achieve unit sales volumes at levels that will allow us to achieve profitability and positive cash flow or if we achieve either or both of these objectives, that we can sustain either or both thereafter.
Our current competitive position in the vaporizer industry is difficult to gauge as most of our competition are also smaller companies or are privately held and do not publicly report their earnings. We do know of several competitors, but, like us, many are in their initial stages of development and are focusing on different areas of this industry. We also believe that the industry likely will attract other larger companies that possess greater financial and managerial resources with the result that we are likely to face greater competitive pressures that will adversely affect our sales volume, profits, and cash flow.
As a general matter, we have access to and market and sell similar products as our competitors, and since we sell our products at substantially similar prices as our competitors; accordingly, the key competitive factors for our success is the quality of service and design we offer our customers, the scope and effectiveness of our marketing efforts, including media advertising campaigns and, increasingly, the ability to identify and develop new sources of customers by attending trade shows and word of mouth. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in these efforts or, if we are successful, that we can maintain any competitive advantages that we may currently have.
Regulatory Matters/Compliance
The United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) regulates electronic cigarettes as “tobacco products” under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 (the “Tobacco Control Act”). The FDA is not permitted to regulate electronic cigarettes as “drugs” or “devices” or a “combination product” under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act unless they are marketed for therapeutic purposes.
The Tobacco Control Act imposes significant new restrictions on the advertising and promotion of tobacco products. The law also requires the FDA to issue future regulations regarding the promotion and marketing of tobacco products sold or distributed over the internet, by mail order or through other non-face-to-face transactions in order to prevent the sale of tobacco products to minors.
It is likely that the Tobacco Control Act could result in a decrease in tobacco product sales in the United States, including sales of our electronic cigarettes and vaporizers.
4 |
The Tobacco industry expects significant regulatory developments to take place over the next few years, driven principally by the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (“FCTC”). The FCTC is the first international public health treaty on tobacco, and its objective is to establish a global agenda for tobacco regulation with the purpose of reducing initiation of tobacco use and encouraging cessation. Regulatory initiatives that have been proposed, introduced or enacted include:
● | the levying of substantial and increasing tax and duty charges; | |
● | restrictions or bans on advertising, marketing and sponsorship; | |
● | the display of larger health warnings, graphic health warnings and other labeling requirements; | |
● | restrictions on packaging design, including the use of colors and generic packaging; | |
● | restrictions or bans on the display of tobacco product packaging at the point of sale, and restrictions or bans on cigarette vending machines; | |
● | requirements regarding testing, disclosure and performance standards for tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other smoke constituents levels; | |
● | requirements regarding testing, disclosure and use of tobacco product ingredients; | |
● | increased restrictions on smoking in public and work places and, in some instances, in private places and outdoors; | |
● | elimination of duty free allowances for travelers; and | |
● | encouraging litigation against tobacco companies. |
If electronic cigarettes or vaporizers are subject to one or more significant regulatory initiatives, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The application of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to all tobacco products, including products like the Company’s vaporizers, will have a material adverse effect on our business.
On May 9, 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the issuance of a final rule (the “Rule”) deeming all tobacco products, including “electronic cigarettes” and their components and parts, subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act). As a result of the new Rule, all electronic cigarette products will be subject to the same FD&C Act provisions and relevant regulatory requirements to which cigarettes are subject, with respect to the following:
1. | Enforcement action against products determined to be adulterated or misbranded (other than enforcement actions based on lack of a marketing authorization during an applicable compliance period); | |
2. | Required submission of ingredient listing and reporting of HPHCs; | |
3. | Required registration of tobacco product manufacturing establishments and product listing; | |
4. | Prohibition against sale and distribution of products with modified risk descriptors (e.g., "light," "low," and "mild" descriptors) and claims unless FDA issues an order authorizing their marketing; | |
5. | Prohibition on the distribution of free samples (same as cigarettes); | |
6. | Premarket review requirements; | |
7. | Implementation of minimum age and identification restrictions to prevent sales to individuals under age 18; | |
8. | Inclusion of a health warning; and | |
9. | Prohibition of sale of electronic cigarettes in vending machines, unless in a facility that never admits youth. |
The application of the Rule will result in additional expenses, could affect the markets we sell our products in, could require us to change our advertising and labeling and method of marketing our products, any of which would have a substantial adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. In addition, the application process of our products by the FDA could cost the Company several hundred thousand dollars and we may incur significant and protracted losses thereby.
We may face the same governmental actions aimed at conventional cigarettes and other tobacco products.
The tobacco industry expects significant regulatory developments to take place over the next few years, driven principally by the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, or the FCTC. The FCTC is the first international public health treaty on tobacco, and its objective is to establish a global agenda for tobacco regulation with the purpose of reducing initiation of tobacco use and encouraging cessation. Regulatory initiatives that have been proposed, introduced or enacted include:
● | the levying of substantial and increasing tax and duty charges; | |
● | restrictions or bans on advertising, marketing and sponsorship; | |
● | the display of larger health warnings, graphic health warnings and other labeling requirements; | |
● | restrictions on packaging design, including the use of colors and generic packaging; | |
● | restrictions or bans on the display of tobacco product packaging at the point of sale, and restrictions or bans on cigarette vending machines; | |
● | requirements regarding testing, disclosure and performance standards for tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other smoke constituents levels; | |
● | requirements regarding testing, disclosure and use of tobacco product ingredients; | |
● | increased restrictions on smoking in public and work places and, in some instances, in private places and outdoors; |
7 |
● | elimination of duty free allowances for travelers; and | |
● | encouraging litigation against tobacco companies. |
If vaporizers and/or electronic cigarettes are subject to one or more significant regulatory initiates enacted under the FCTC, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Further and given the recent development of our industry, we may be facing significant and adverse regulatory provisions that may cause us to incur significant costs and resulting losses thereby. We cannot assure you that our current regulatory environment will be maintained or that new adverse regulations will not be adopted that will result in us incurring significant and protracted losses thereby.
We are a small public company and we face ever-increasing challenges in fulfilling the ever-rising costs of regulatory compliance under our federal, state, and other laws.
As a small company we have limited financial resources and we face compliance and regulatory costs that are increasing yearly. While we believe that our business strategies are sound, we cannot assure you that we will not incur such costs and have the ability to pass these increased costs onto our customers. As a result, we may incur significant operating losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future with resulting adverse impact on our continued existence as a corporation.
Our Total Current Liabilities were greater than our Total Current Assets as of December 30, 2016.
As of December 31, 2016, our Total Current Liabilities were $1,661,799 and our Total Current Assets were $288,493. As a result, we do not have sufficient cash or other liquid current assets to meet our current financial obligations that become due within the twelve-months.
We need to raise additional external capital but we have received no commitment from any source to provide this capital and there can be no assurance that we can raise any additional capital.
We estimate that we may need to raise $300,000 to $500,000 or more in additional external capital to meet our current and projected financial needs. Currently we do not have any existing commitments from any reliable source to provide this capital and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising the additional capital that we need or, if we are successful, that we will be able to raise it on a timely basis and on terms that are reasonable in light of our present circumstances.
We previously obtained an aggregate of $500,000 in financing from two accredited investors. In exchange, we issued convertible subordinated debentures with an aggregate total stated principal amount of $500,000. These debentures are unsecured and all accrued and unpaid principal and interest is due and payable on each on July 26, 2018. In any event, any holder of our Common Stock is faced with the risk of the total loss of their investment.
We incurred significant losses in 2016 and our cash flow is limited and volatile with the result that we face constant financial challenges in meeting our monthly operating and other financial obligations.
We incurred significant losses in 2016 and we cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability or if we do achieve it that we can sustain any profitability in the future. Further and as a small company, our cash flow is limited and we do not have a diversified customer base with diversified customers and markets compared to larger companies. As a result, our monthly cash flow is limited and more volatile than other larger companies. For this reason we are exposed to greater financial risks and persons who acquire our common stock could lose all or substantially all of their investment.
Continuing and increasing losses may directly impact our ability to remain in business.
During the year ending December 31, 2016, we incurred $1,986,861 in losses compared to $514,806 in losses for the year ended December 31, 2015. The net losses include non-cash expenses primarily due to stock based compensation of $777,058 during the year ended December 31, 2016. While we believe that if circumstances and market conditions allow, we may be able to achieve profitability, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts or if we are successful, that we can sustain any profitability. If are not successful in achieving and sustaining profitability and positive cash flow, then persons who acquire our common stock could lose all or substantially all of their investment.

Limited trading market and limited and sporadic trading of our Common Stock.
The trading market for our Common Stock is limited and any holder of our Common Stock will likely find it difficult to sell their shares in any large amount without incurring protracted delays and difficulty and without a significant reduction in the market price of the overall trading market for our Common Stock. The trading market for our Common Stock is limited and sporadic and there can be no assurance that any liquid trading market will develop or if it does develop that it can be sustained. As a result, any purchase of our Common Stock or any conversion of any debt instrument that is convertible into our Common Stock should only be considered by those who can afford to own a relatively illiquid investment and the likelihood that they may incur the total loss of their investment.
Item 2. | Properties |
The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in California. The Company currently leases space located at 3511 Ryder Street, Santa Clara, CA, 95051. Product design occurs at this location.
Our devices are manufactured in Guang Dong, China. We do not have a written manufacturing contract with our manufacturer. We use purchase orders to memorialize the terms of order placements.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings. |
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation matters relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. While the results of such claims and legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that there are claims or actions, pending or threatened against the Company, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 4. | Mine Safety Disclosure |

Overview
Vapir Enterprises, Inc. was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 17, 2009 under the name Apps Genius Corp. Our original business was to develop, market, publish and distribute social games and software applications that consumers could use on a variety of platforms, including social networks, wireless devices and stand-alone websites. We were unsuccessful in operating our business and on October 7, 2013 we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with FAL Minerals LLC and we changed our name to FAL Exploration Corp. The agreement with FAL Minerals LLC has since been terminated and we have now entered into an Exchange Agreement with Vapir, Inc. and its shareholders. In addition, we changed our name to Vapir Enterprises, Inc. to better represent our new business operations.
On December 30, 2014, Vapir, Inc., a private California corporation (“Vapir”), which is the historical business of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the Company, all of the stockholders of Vapir (the “Vapir Shareholders”), and the Company’s controlling stockholders whereby the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Vapir in exchange for 38,624,768 shares of the Company’s common stock. On December 30, 2014, the transaction closed and Vapir is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The number of shares issued represented approximately 80.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement. In addition, Vapir’s board of directors and management obtained the board and management control of the combined entity stock immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement.
Vapir, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated on October 26, 2006 in the State of California.
Vapir, Inc. specializes in the revolutionary technology of digital aromatherapy which is the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance and harmonize while freshening the environment with pleasant and distinctive fragrances. We invent, develop and produce revolutionary and easy to use digital aromatherapy devices by utilizing heat and convection air.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to the Year Ended December 30, 2015
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $1,086,971 and $2,157,929 respectively, a decrease of $1,070,958 or approximately 50%. The decrease in sales during the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of our Prima vaporizer product.
Management views future sales level with a fair degree of uncertainty in that management has not been able to identify whether our sales level are trending up or down over the near term. As a result, we believed our sales level are subject to high level of uncertainty.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $678,056 and $1,199,461, respectively, a decrease of $521,405 or approximately 43%. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in sales of our vaporizer products.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $1,944,309 and $1,456,539, respectively, an increase of $487,770 or approximately 33%. The increase in operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2016 is primarily due to an increase in stock based consulting expense of approximately $228,000 offset by a decrease in Legal Fees of approximately $67,000. Additionally, an increase in stock based compensation of approximately $413,000 in connection with common stock and stock options granted to our CEO, Directors, employees and consultants of the Company offset by a decrease in Payroll Expenses of approximately $217,000 as a result of cost cutting measures resulted in an additional increase of approximately $196,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016.
We continue to evaluate its operating cost with an aim of reducing its operating expenses in the future. However, some of our costs are fixed and we face intense competition from others who have more favorable operating cost structures and greater unit volumes that allows them to have an ability to compete aggressively on pricing. These and other factors could cause us to continue to incur significant and protracted losses in the future. As a result, there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in reducing our operating costs to a level that would allow us to achieve profitability, positive cash flow or both of them or if we do achieve these objectives that we can sustain profitability, positive cash flow or both of them.

Other Income (Expense), net
Total other expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $451,467 and $16,735, respectively, an increase of $434,732. The increase in other expense is the primary result of the decreased gain resulting from the decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities offset by interest expense from related party advances and convertible debentures and also includes amortization of debt discount and deferred financing cost of approximately $264,000 in connection with the issuance of convertible debentures.
Net loss
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1,986,861 and $514,806, respectively, as a result of the items discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2016, our total current liabilities exceeded our total current assets and, as a result, we had a working capital deficit and a further deterioration in our liquidity over the past 12 months.
We are not aware of any known demands, commitments or events that will result in our working capital liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. We are not aware of any matters that would have a positive impact on future operations. But over the past twelve months we have had increasing losses that is likely to continue if current market conditions continue.
Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At December 31, 2016, we had a cash balance of approximately $12,000 and working capital deficit of $1,623,000. Our cash increased during the year ended December 31, 2016 by approximately $4,200 from our cash balance at December 31, 2015 of $7,900. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we borrowed $50,000 by issuing a note payable which will mature in February 2019 and we also received related party advances for a total of $430,000 to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
We are facing increasing demands that will likely require that we raise additional funds. If circumstances and market conditions allow, we may be able to raise additional capital but it may be under market conditions that are not favorable with the result that we may incur dilution or be required to accept debt covenants or other conditions that are onerous or which otherwise limit our ability to gain or attract additional financing in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any additional funds or if we are successful, that we will be able to do so on terms that are reasonable in light of our current circumstances. As a small company with a limited product line and limited customer base, we face continuing risks and uncertainties that serve to make our company and an investment in our common stock subject to risks that are beyond our control. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our cash is not sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for the next 12 months.
Our ability to generate and maintain a positive cash flow from our operations cannot be assured. Based solely on our own internal estimates without the benefit of any independent third party evaluation, we anticipate that our cash and cash flow will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements and we will likely require significant additional external financing. The magnitude of the additional financing and its timing is not yet precisely known and depending on the level of our sales revenues and other operating needs we may be facing a prolonged multi-period scenario of negative cash flows with increasing losses. Further and since our Total Current Liabilities as of December 31, 2016 were $1,661,799 and our Total Current Assets were only $288,493, we are and remain insolvent in that as of December 31, 2016 our Current Ratio (defined as Total Current Assets divided by Total Current Liabilities) was only .15. That is, it was far below one (1). Overall, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital on a timely basis or if we are able to raise additional capital that we can raise it on terms that are reasonable in light of our current circumstances. As a result, we face increasing risks and persons who acquire our common stock may incur the loss of all or substantially all of their investment.
On April 3, 2015, we closed a financing transaction by entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 3, 2015 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with two accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) for an aggregate subscription amount of $500,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued a 6% Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) to each investor and warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Warrants”).
Each Debenture accrues interest at a rate equal to 6% per annum and the Debenture has a maturity date of July 26, 2018.
Each Debenture is convertible at any time and from time to time after its issuance date. Each Purchaser has the right to convert the Debenture that they hold into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to ten cents ($0.10). The conversion price, however, is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that Company issue any securities at a price lower than the conversion price then in effect. We have relied upon the use of debt financing to raise significant amounts of capital and we may continue to do so in the future. Under these circumstances and given our financial condition, any holder of our Common Stock is faced with the risk of the total loss of their investment.
12 |
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of our common stock. The Warrants issued in this transaction are immediately exercisable and currently at an exercise price of ten cents ($0.10) per share, subject to applicable adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any securities at a price lower than the exercise price then in effect. The Warrants have an expiration period of five years from the original issue date.
Currently, we have no other known alternative source for any additional financing except those sources which we have previously used and we cannot be assured that our prior sources will have any willingness to provide us with additional capital or, if they do, that the terms of any such additional financing will be reasonable in light of our current conditions. Further, we cannot assure you that we can continue to rely upon those existing financing sources in the future. We may not have sufficient working capital and funds from the collection of revenues that may allow us to maintain or expand our existing operations, to provide sufficient working capital to meet our operating needs and our outstanding financial obligations. For this reason, we anticipate that, based on current market conditions and our existing financial condition, we will likely need to obtain significant additional capital. In this sense we currently anticipate that we will remain dependent on our ability to secure additional financing.
In the event that we are able to secure a sufficient amount additional financing on a timely basis, it may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or entering into other financing arrangements on such terms as then existing market conditions require. The capital market for small or micro-cap companies has been and likely will remain very difficult in the near future. As a result our ability to obtain additional capital on terms that are reasonable in light of current market conditions cannot be assured. We may be forced to obtain additional capital on terms that could limit our long-term ability to remain in business or otherwise materially restrict our operations. Further, our current financial structure and the demands of our existing creditors is such that we face a clear risk of not being able to meet the obligations to our creditors. In that event, we face a clear risk of insolvency with the result that persons who acquire our common stock may lose all or substantially all of their investment.
Further, the market price of our common stock and the uncertainties of the U.S. economy and other factors will likely negatively impact us and the financing options that we may have. Any downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could also make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing.
Even if we are able to raise the additional financing, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience significant and protracted unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek other, less-attractive alternative financing on terms that could result in significant dilution and with other terms that are not reasonable in light of our current circumstances.
Currently we do not have any commitment from any outside financing source to meet our anticipated financing needs and we have no basis to believe that any such commitment is forthcoming. Furthermore, in the event that we were to issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience significant additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. And in the case of any issuance of one or more debt securities, the debt covenants may restrict our operating ability and our ability to raise additional financing from debt.
Overall if we are unable to raise additional capital on terms that are reasonable in light of current market conditions we will likely restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. We face a clear risk of insolvency unless we are able to successfully raise significant additional capital on terms that will allow us to reduce our financial obligations and improve our profitability and cash flow. If we are unable to obtain significant additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations with the clear risk of insolvency.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and persons who acquire our common stock face the risk of losing all or substantially all of their investment.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Neither inflation nor changing prices for the year ended December 31, 2016 had a material impact on our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) 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 portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, 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 critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements. We believe the critical accounting policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Annual Report, Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant matters requiring the use of estimates and assumptions include, but may not be limited to, accounts receivable allowances, inventory, derivatives, and evaluation of impairment of long lived assets and intangible assets and the fair value of common stock issued. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, based on information that is available at the time they are made.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Vapir Enterprises, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vapir Enterprises, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2016. Vapir Enterprises, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vapir Enterprises, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses, has incurred negative cash flows from operations and has a working capital deficit. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Vapir Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary
December 31, 2016 and 2015
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Operations
Vapir Enterprises, Inc.
Vapir Enterprises Inc. (formerly FAL Exploration Corp.) (“Vapir Enterprises” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 17, 2009. The Company’s principal business is focused on inventing, developing and producing aromatherapy devices and vaporizers. The Company’s devices utilize heat and convection air and thereby extract natural essences and produce fresh vapor. Vapir, Inc. (“Vapir”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was incorporated in the State of California in October 2006.
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:
(i) | Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes 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. |
(ii) | Allowance for doubtful accounts: Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical sales, historical loss levels, and an analysis of the collectability of individual accounts; and general economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay. The Company evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. |
F-7 |
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
(iii) | Inventory obsolescence and markdowns: The Company’s estimate of potentially excess and slow-moving inventories is based on evaluation of inventory levels and aging, review of inventory turns and historical sales experiences. The Company’s estimate of reserve for inventory shrinkage is based on the historical results of physical inventory cycle counts. |
(iv) | Fair value of long-lived assets: Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events. |
(v) | Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are recorded as a deferred tax benefit. Management made this assumption based on its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors. |
(vi) | Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of derivative liabilities and equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value derivative liabilities, share options and similar instruments. |
(vii) | Intangible Assets: Definite-Lived intangible assets primarily consist of Customer List and Patents. Impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its discounted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference in carrying amount and the estimated fair value. |
(viii) | Stock Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards made for stock options and warrants. The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates. We use the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of stock options which requires a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs including volatility and risk-free rates. |
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity.

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of Vapir Enterprises, Inc. and Vapir, Inc.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820 (“ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and ASC 825 Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Level 3 Financial Liabilities - Derivative Warrant Liabilities and Derivative Liability on Conversion Feature
The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative warrant liability and derivative liability on the conversion feature at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities.
The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2016, and 2015:

Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted ASC 360 – Property, Plant, and Equipment for evaluation of its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC 360 an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC 360 if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
Pursuant to ASC 360-10-45-4 and 360-10-45-5 an impairment loss recognized for a long-lived asset (asset group) to be held and used shall be included in income from continuing operations before income taxes in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from operations is presented, it shall include the amount of that loss. A gain or loss recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) that is not a component of an entity shall be included in income from continuing operations before income taxes in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from operations is presented, it shall include the amounts of those gains or losses. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Pursuant to ASC 310 – Receivables, trade receivables that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future shall be reported in the balance sheet at outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs and the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company follows ASC 310-10-35-7 through 310-10-35-10 to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts. Pursuant to ASC 310-10-35-9 Losses from uncollectible receivables shall be accrued when both of the following conditions are met: (a) Information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (as discussed in ASC 855-10-25) indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired at the date of the financial statements, and (b) The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Those conditions may be considered in relation to individual receivables or in relation to groups of similar types of receivables. If the conditions are met, accrual shall be made even though the particular receivables that are uncollectible may not be identifiable. The Company reviews individually each trade receivable for collectability and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and general economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses.
Pursuant to ASC 310-10-35-41 Credit losses for trade receivables (uncollectible trade receivables), which may be for all or part of a particular trade receivable, shall be deducted from the allowance. The related trade receivable balance shall be charged off in the period in which the trade receivables are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously charged off shall be recorded when received. The Company charges off its trade account receivables against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
As of December 31, 2016, and 2015, the Company recorded $2,009 and $1,373 in allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $1,619 and $1,774 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
Inventory
Inventory Valuation
The Company values inventory, consisting of finished goods, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in and first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company reduces inventory for the diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include (i) estimates of future demand, and (ii) competitive pricing pressures.
Inventory Obsolescence and Markdowns
The Company evaluates its current level of inventory considering historical sales and other factors and, based on this evaluation, classify inventory markdowns in the income statement as a component of cost of goods sold pursuant to ASC 420-10-S99 to adjust inventory to net realizable value. These markdowns are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations.
During 2016, the Company wrote down slow moving inventory in the amount of $39,734. The Company did not record slow moving inventory during the year ended December 31, 2015. There was no lower of cost or market adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.
Advances to suppliers
Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for the purchase of inventory. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Estimated Useful Life (Years) | ||
Auto | 3 | |
Furniture and fixture | 5 | |
Leasehold improvement | * |
(*) Amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.
Upon sale or retirement, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.
Leases
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether they are capital leases or operating leases in accordance with ASC 840-10-25-1. Pursuant to ASC 840-10-25-1 a lessee and a lessor shall consider whether a lease meets any of the following four criteria as part of classifying the lease at its inception under the guidance in the Lessees Subsection of this Section (for the lessee) and the Lessors Subsection of this Section (for the lessor): a. Transfer of ownership. The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term. This criterion is met in situations in which the lease agreement provides for the transfer of title at or shortly after the end of the lease term in exchange for the payment of a nominal fee, for example, the minimum required by statutory regulation to transfer title. b. Bargain purchase option. The lease contains a bargain purchase option. c. Lease term. The lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property. d. Minimum lease payments. The Company did not engage in any other transaction that is deemed to be an operating or a capital lease.
F-11 |
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor. In accordance with paragraphs 840-10-25-29 and 840-10-25-30, if at its inception a lease meets any of the four lease classification criteria in Paragraph 840-10-25-1, the lease shall be classified by the lessee as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria in Paragraph 840-10-25-1 are met, the lease shall be classified by the lessee as an operating lease. Pursuant to Paragraph 840-10-25-31 a lessee shall compute the present value of the minimum lease payments using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate unless both of the following conditions are met, in which circumstance the lessee shall use the implicit rate: a. It is practicable for the lessee to learn the implicit rate computed by the lessor. b. The implicit rate computed by the lessor is less than the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. Capital lease assets are depreciated on a straight line method, over the capital lease assets estimated useful lives consistent with the Company’s normal depreciation policy for tangible fixed assets. Interest charges are expensed over the period of the lease in relation to the carrying value of the capital lease obligation.
Operating leases primarily relate to the Company’s leases of office spaces. When the terms of an operating lease include tenant improvement allowances, periods of free rent, rent concessions, and/or rent escalation amounts, the Company establishes a deferred rent liability for the difference between the scheduled rent payment and the straight-line rent expense recognized, which is amortized over the underlying lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense.
Intangible assets
The Company records the purchase of intangible assets not purchased in a business combination in accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and records intangible assets acquired in a business combination or pushed-down pursuant to acquisition by its parent in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”.
Customer Relationships are based upon the estimated percentage of annual or period projected cash flows generated by such relationships, to the total cash flows generated over the estimated life of the customer relationships.
In accordance with ASC 350-30-65, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Others”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1. | Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; | |
2. | Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and | |
3. | Significant negative industry or economic trends. |
When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10-05-4 and ASC 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then that the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
F-12 |
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted ASC 815-40-15 to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. ASC 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company marks to market the fair value of the embedded derivative convertible notes and derivative warrants at each balance sheet date and records the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative convertible notes and derivative warrants as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company utilizes the Black Scholes model that values the liability of the derivative convertible notes and derivative warrants. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options. The Company may elect to use different assumptions under the Black-Scholes option pricing model in the future if there is a difference between the assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation cost and the actual factors that become known over time.
Customer Deposits
Customer deposits consisted of prepayments from customers to the Company. The Company will recognize the prepayments as revenue upon delivery of the products, in compliance with its revenue recognition policy.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20 the Related parties include a. affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of ASC 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company and members of their immediate families; e. management of the Company and members of their immediate families; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Pursuant to ASC 850-10-50-1 and 50-5 financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
F-13 |
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
Commitment and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows ASC 605-10-S99-1 “Revenue Recognition” for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Consideration paid to promote and sell the Company’s products to customers is typically recorded as marketing costs incurred by the Company. If the amount of consideration paid to customers exceeds the marketing costs, any excess is recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company follows the requirements of ASC 605-50-45-2, Revenue Recognition—Customer Payments and Incentives. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded total marketing cost of $148,629 as consideration paid to promote and sell the company’s products to customers of which $60,000 relates to incentives provided to customers.
Cost of Sales
The primary components of cost of sales include the cost of the product and shipping fees.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with ASC 605-45-45-19. While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs are classified in cost of goods sold as incurred. Shipping and Handling fees for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled approximately $43,000 and $52,000, respectively.
Advertising Costs
The Company follows the guidance of the ASC 720-35-25 “Other Expenses” as to when advertising costs should be expensed. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 720-35-25-1 the costs of advertising shall be expensed either as incurred or the first time the advertising takes place. The accounting policy the Company selected from these two alternatives was to expense the advertising costs when the first time the advertising takes place. Deferring the costs of advertising until the advertising takes place assumes that the costs have been incurred for advertising that will occur, such as the first public showing of a television commercial for its intended purpose and the first appearance of a magazine advertisement for its intended purpose. Such costs shall be expensed immediately if such advertising is not expected to occur.
Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-5 costs of communicating advertising are not incurred until the item or service has been received and shall not be reported as expenses before the item or service has been received, such as the costs of television airtime which shall not be reported as advertising expense before the airtime is used. Once it is used, the costs shall be expensed, unless the airtime was used for direct-response advertising activities that meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 340-20-25-4.
Advertising costs were $9,876 and $29,224 for the period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and has been included in selling expenses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under ASC 505-50 “Equity”.
Pursuant to ASC 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of ASC 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services.
Pursuant to ASC 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
Pursuant to ASC 505-50-30-2 and 505-50-30-11 share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The issuer shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the following dates, referred to as the measurement date: (a) The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); or (b) The date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. If the Company’s common shares are traded in one of the national exchanges the grant-date share price of the Company’s common stock will be used to measure the fair value of the common shares issued, however, if the Company’s common shares are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Pursuant to ASC 718-10-55-21 if an observable market price is not available for a share option or similar instrument with the same or similar terms and conditions, an entity shall estimate the fair value of that instrument using a valuation technique or model that meets the requirements in ASC 718-10-55-11 and takes into account, at a minimum, all of the following factors:
a. | The exercise price of the option. |
b. | The expected term of the option, taking into account both the contractual term of the option and the effects of employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior: Pursuant to ASC 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i), the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. |
c. | The current price of the underlying share. |
F-15 |
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
d. | The expected volatility of the price of the underlying share for the expected term of the option. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-55-25 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” a newly publicly traded entity might base expectations about future volatility on the average volatilities of similar entities for an appropriate period following their going public. A nonpublic entity might base its expected volatility on the average volatilities of otherwise similar public entities. For purposes of identifying otherwise similar entities, an entity would likely consider characteristics such as industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage. Because of the effects of diversification that are present in an industry sector index, the volatility of an index should not be substituted for the average of volatilities of otherwise similar entities in a fair value measurement. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-S99-1 if shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected term of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. |
e. | The expected dividends on the underlying share for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments. |
f. | The risk-free interest rate(s) for the expected term of the option. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-55-28 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” a U.S. entity issuing an option on its own shares must use as the risk-free interest rates the implied yields currently available from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve over the contractual term of the option if the entity is using a lattice model incorporating the option’s contractual term. If the entity is using a closed-form model, the risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the assumption in the model. |
Pursuant to ASC 505-50-S99-1 “Equity”, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.
Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10-30 “Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share ("EPS") is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45. Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.
Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23 Diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method unless the provisions of ASC 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and ASC 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied. Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid stock subscriptions (see ASC 260-10-55-23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS. Under the treasury stock method: a. Exercise of options and warrants shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued. b. The proceeds from exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. (See ASC 260-10-45-29 and ASC 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.) c. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45-40 through 45-42 convertible securities shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of if converted method. The convertible preferred stock or convertible debt shall be assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later). In applying the if-converted method, conversion shall not be assumed for purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The Company’s contingent shares issuance arrangements, stock options, convertible debt, or warrants which have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive are as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”)
This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
F-17 |
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices (continued)
To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
1. | Identify the contract(s) with the customer |
2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
3. | Determine the transaction price |
4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligations |
The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the following:
1. | Contracts with customers – including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue, and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations)
| |
2. | Significant judgments and changes in judgments – determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations | |
3. | Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. |
ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early application is not permitted. The Company is reviewing existing contracts to determine the impact to the Company’s financials. As of December 31, 2016, the Company believes the guidance will have minimal or no impact to the Company’s financials.
In August 2015, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”).
The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
In November 2015, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). This update simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes; the amendments in this Update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position.
For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.
In January 2016, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”).
This Update makes limited amendments to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period and is applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
F-18 |
Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company has elected to adopt early application of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,502,000 at December 31, 2016, a net loss of approximately $1,987,000 and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $435,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private or public offering. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.
The 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 is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 – Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation consisted of the following:

Intangible assets, net | $ | 181,574 | $ | 375,176 |
Customer Relationships are amortized based upon the estimated percentage of annual or period projected cash flows generated by such relationships, to the total cash flows generated over the estimated fifteen-year life of the Customer Relationships.
Legal costs associated with serving and protecting trademark are being capitalized. The Company filed trademarks for its company logos with an estimated useful life of fifteen years. The Company will amortize the costs of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Amortization of intangible assets is included in operating expenses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company assesses fair market value for any impairment to the carrying values.
Amortization expense was $67,176 and $67,176 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Impairment
The Company completed its annual impairment test of intangibles and determined that there is an impairment related to the Customer List intangible asset. The Company believes that revenues generated in future periods as a result of the Customer List intangible asset will decrease at an annual rate of 24%. Additionally, the gross margin in calculating the undiscounted future cash flows decreased from 45% in prior years to 38%. As a result, the Net Present Value of future cash flows is approximately $177,000 resulting in an excess book value and impairment charge of $126,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. No impairment existed as of December 31, 2015 as the fair value of intangibles exceeded their carrying values.

Note 7 – Related Party Transactions
Advances from Significant Stockholder
From time to time, our Chairman, CEO and significant stockholder of the Company advances funds to the Company for working capital purposes. These advances are unsecured, bare an interest rate of 5%, and are due on demand.
During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s CEO provided advances to the Company. Total advances from the CEO as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $758,400 and $363,500, respectively. The Company had total accrued interest as a result of these advances of $37,584 and $7,114 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Note 8 – Convertible Notes Payable
On April 3, 2015, the Company closed a financing transaction by entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors for an aggregate subscription amount of $500,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 6% Convertible Debentures and warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
The terms of the Debenture and the Warrants are as follows:
6% Convertible Debenture
The total principal amount of the Debentures is $500,000. The Debenture accrues interest at 6% per annum and the Debenture matured on October 3, 2016. The Debenture is convertible any time after its issuance date. The Purchaser has the right to convert the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. The conversion price, however, is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any securities at a per share price lower than the conversion price then in effect. The Company paid financing costs of $22,500 in connection with this Debenture which was initially recorded as prepaid financing cost and was amortized over the term of the Debenture. The note was initially issued on April 3, 2015 at a discount of $500,000.
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company recognized $252,276 and $247,724, respectively of amortization of debt discount. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company recognized $11,352 and $11,148, respectively of amortization of deferred financing cost. The amortization of debt discount and deferred financing cost were included in interest expense. As of December 31, 2016, accrued interest related to this Debenture amounted to $52,538.
On March 23, 2017, the Company completed the extension of its $500,000 6% Senior Convertible Debenture. The Company and the investors held on-going discussions prior to and post maturity to extend the original agreement. As a result of the extension, the new maturity date is amended to July 26, 2018. Accordingly, the outstanding Convertible Debenture was classified as a Long-term Liability.
Warrants
The Company issued warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Warrants issued in this transaction are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, subject to applicable adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issue any securities at a per share price lower than the exercise price then in effect. The Warrants have an expiration period of five years from the date of the original issuance.
Convertible notes payable consisted of the following:

Note 9 – Derivative Liabilities
Since the terms of the Debentures and Warrants in the April 2015 closing include a down-round provision under which the conversion price and exercise price could be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company under the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock”, the embedded conversion options and the warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the convertible Debentures, along with the free-standing warrant derivative instruments and recorded derivative liabilities on their issuance date. The Company uses the Black Scholes model to value the derivative liabilities. The Debentures were all discounted in full based on the valuations and the Company recognized an additional derivative expense of $188,378 upon initial recording of the derivative liabilities. The total debt discount of $500,000 consisted of valuation of the derivatives of $250,407 and the valuation of the warrants of $249,593 to be amortized over the terms of the note. These derivative liabilities are then revalued on each reporting date. The loss resulting from the change in fair value of these convertible instruments was $103,260 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to a gain of $485,725 for the year ended December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a warrant derivative liability of $44,595 and note derivative liability of $261,318.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
Joint Marketing Agreement
On February 20, 2015, the Company entered into a joint marketing agreement (the “Agreement”) with a third party consultant (“Consultant”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Consultant will act as the Company’s advisor to assist the Company in connection with a best efforts basis in identifying potential sources of capital for an initial term of six (6) months.
Consultant shall be compensated as follows:
● | $25,000 initial fee, payable upon completion of $250,000 capital raise or $40,000 initial fee, payable upon completion of $500,000 capital raise. | |
● | $5,000 per month (prorated for the first month of the capital raise completion), payments begin immediately upon capital raise of $250,000 and thereafter on the 2nd of each month. | |
● | 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, payable within five (5) days of the execution of this Agreement. Another 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock is due when $250,000 is raised. |
The Company valued the 125,000 shares of its common stock issued upon execution of the Agreement at $0.50 per share and recorded as consulting fees as these shares are fully earned, non-forfeitable and non-assessable upon issuance. Such consultant has not completed any capital raise for the Company. The Company recognized approximately $364,000 and $137,000 of expense related to this consulting agreement during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Operating lease
In June 2014, a lease agreement was signed for an office and warehousing space consisting of approximately 5,000 square feet located in San Jose, California with a term commencing in June 2014 and expiring in October 2015. In August 2015, the Company entered into an amendment agreement to extend the term of the lease which will expire on December 31, 2018. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the lease requires the Company to pay a monthly base rent of $5,050 plus a pro rata share of operating expenses beginning November 1, 2015. The base rent is subject to an annual increase beginning in November 2016 as defined in the amended lease agreement. This lease agreement is personally guaranteed by the President of the Company.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Effective September 15, 2016, the Company entered into a one year lease of space consisting of approximately 1,819 square feet located in San Jose, California, with the term expiring in September 14, 2017. The base rent for the new agreement is $1,819 per month. As a result, the Company entered into a sublease agreement (“Sub Lessee”) to sublease the previous office and warehousing space in San Jose, California with a term commencing on September 1, 2016 and expiring October 31, 2017. The sublease agreement requires the sub lessee to pay to the Company a base rent of $5,050 plus pro rata share of operating expenses beginning September 1, 2016. The base rent increased beginning in November 2016 as defined in the amended lease agreement, to $5,202.
Future minimum rental payments required under this operating lease are as follows:

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation matters relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. While the results of such claims and legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that there are claims or actions, pending or threatened against the Company, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Note 12 – Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2016, the Company has a Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryforward of approximately $2,800,000. The NOL expires during the years 2034 to 2036. In the event that a significant change in ownership of the Company occurs as a result of the Company’s issuance of common stock, the utilization of the NOL carryforward will be subject to limitation under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Management does not presently believe that such a change has occurred. Realization of any portion of the $1,414,030 of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016 is not considered more likely than not by management; accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for the full amount. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2016 was $1,414,030. The change in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2016 amounted to $977,137.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:
Year

2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Organizational costs, accrued liabilities and other | $ | 38,608 | $ | 15,087 | ||||

Reconciliation of the differences between income tax benefit computed at the federal and state statutory tax rates and the provision for income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2014 is as follows:
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Income tax expense (benefit) at federal statutory rate | 34.0 | % | 34.0 | % | ||||

Note 13 – Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Revenue and Supplier
During the year ended December 31, 2016 sales to two customers represented approximately 35% of the Company’s net sales. During the year ended December 31, 2015 sales to one customer represented approximately 49% of the Company’s net sales.
As of December 31, 2016, and 2015, the Company had two customers representing approximately 29% of accounts receivable and one customer representing approximately 22% of accounts receivable, respectively.
Additionally, we use electronic contract manufacturers (EMS) to make our products (primarily located in China), We specify the requirements and specification and product are built based on the Specification and Design. We have been able to extend our credit with our suppliers but there are always risk that suppliers reduce their credit limit or terms of credit
Subsequent Events
On March 23, 2017, the Company completed the extension of its $500,000 6% Senior Convertible Debenture dated April 3, 2015. The original agreement had a maturity date of October 3, 2016. The Company and the investors held on-going discussions prior to and post maturity to extend the original agreement. As a result of the extension, the new maturity date is amended to July 26, 2018.

Item 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
None.
Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures. |
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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.
With respect to the quarterly period ending December 31, 2016, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016, due to our limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. In connection with this evaluation, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2016:
(1) | Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert. Although our board of directors serves as the audit committee it has no independent directors. These factors are counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management. | |
(2) | We do not have sufficient experience from our accounting personnel with the requisite U.S. GAAP public company reporting experience that is necessary for adequate controls and procedures due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles. | |
(3) | Need for greater integration, oversight, communication and financial reporting of the books and records of our office. | |
(4) | Lack of sufficient segregation of duties such that the design over these areas relies primarily on detective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets. |
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016, that materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Director Independence
Currently, we have no independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
● | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the Company; |
● | the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); |
● | a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the Company; |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); |
● | the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the Company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |
Related Party Transactions
From time to time, the Company’s CEO of the Company, provides advances to the Company for working capital purposes. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s CEO provided advances to the Company. Total advances from the CEO as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $758,400 and $363,500, respectively. The Company had total accrued interest as a result of these advances of $37,584 and $7,114 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors
Consistent with the SEC policies regarding auditor independence, our Board of Directors has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, our Board of Directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.
Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of the following four categories of services to the Board of Directors for approval.
1. Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of year-end financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services, assistance reviewing our quarterly financial statements and SEC filings, and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.
2. Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.
3. Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.
4. Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories.
