NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Business

InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. (“Company”, “InnerScope”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated on June 15, 2012, with its principal place of business in Roseville, California. The Company was originally named InnerScope Advertising Agency, Inc. and was formed to provide advertising and marketing services to retail establishments in the hearing device industry. On August 25, 2017, the Company changed its name to InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the Company’s current direction as a technology driven company with a scalable business to business (B2B) solution and business to consumer (and B2C) solution. Recently, the Company began offering its own line of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) registered Hearing Aids and its “Hearable”, and “Wearable” Personal Sound Amplifier Products (PSAPs).

On August 5, 2016, the Company along with Mark Moore (“Mark”, the Company’s Chairman of the Board), Matthew Moore (“Matthew”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and Kim Moore (“Kim”, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer) entered into a Store Expansion Consulting Agreement (the “Expansion Agreement”) with a third party (the “Client”). Mark, Matthew and Kim are herein referred to collectively as the “Moores”. Pursuant to the Expansion Agreement, the Company and the Moores were responsible for all physical plant and marketing details for the Client’s new store openings during the initial term of six-months. The Expansion Agreement was cancelled on January 6, 2017. The Client has decided to do their own marketing in-house and eliminate this out-sourced contract and decided to open only one location and delay the opening of any other new stores.  For the three months ended March 31 2017, the Company has recognized $100,000 of income for the one new store, opened in January 2017, and $160,000 in other income, net, for payments received for the Expansion Agreement pursuant to the cancellation. The Client also paid an additional $30,000 for the cancellation of the Store Expansion Agreement and a marketing agreement.

Also, on August 5, 2016, the Company and the Moores entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with the same Client as the store Expansion Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement, including the Non-Compete provision covering a ten-mile radius of any retail store, the Company and the Moores were to provide unlimited licensing of the Intela-Hear brand name, exclusive access to the Aware Aural Rehab Program within 10 miles of retail stores, exclusive territory of all services within 10 miles of retail stores and up to 40 hours per month of various consulting services. The Consulting Agreement continues until January 31, 2019, unless terminated for cause, as defined in the Consulting Agreement. On May 26, 2017, the Company and the Moores were named in an action filed by the Client, that included a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. On August 13, 2018, the Client, InnerScope and the Moores executed a Settlement Agreement (See Note 12).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2018. Interim results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017, are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2017 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

Emerging Growth Companies

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

Use of Estimates

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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. If the amount of a deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could be lost, in whole or in part, if the bank were to fail.

Accounts receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at the time products and services are delivered. An allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance (if any) is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, management’s evaluation resulted in the establishment of an allowance for uncollectible receivables of $63,799.

Sales Concentration and Credit Risk

Following is a summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2018:

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.

Intangible Assets

Costs for intangible assets are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining such assets. Capitalized costs are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased the domain name www.innd.com from a third party for $3,000.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017:

Depreciation expense of $221 and $442 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017.

Investment in Undivided Interest in Real Estate

The Company accounts for its’ investment in undivided interest in real estate using the equity method, as the Company is severally liable only for the indebtedness incurred with its interest in the property. The Company includes its allocated portion of net income or loss in Other income (expense) in its Statement of Operations, with the offset to the equity investment account on the balance sheet. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $741. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in undivided interest in real estate was $1,225,644 and $1,224,903, respectively (see Note 8).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value: 

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. 

The following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, for each fair value hierarchy level:

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature. 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. 

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Monte Carlo simulations to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. 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. 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. 

Original Issue Discount

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. 

Revenue Recognition

The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09, as amended effective January 1, 2018, and determined that there was no significant impact on its revenue recognition.  The Company’s contracts with customers are generally on a purchase order basis and represent obligations that are satisfied at a point in time as defined in the new guidance.  Accordingly, revenue for each project is recognized when each project is complete, and any costs incurred before this point in time, are recorded as assets to be expensed during the period the related revenue is recognized. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company received and recognized $100,000 of revenue related to the Store Expansion agreement, and $30,000 of income from the cancellation of the Marketing and Store Expansion Agreements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.

Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 90,570,304 shares of common stock. This amount is not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any outstanding common stock equivalents or any other potentially dilutive securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is amended by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2017-10, ASU 2017-13 and ASU 2017-14, which FASB issued in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, May 2016, December 2016, May 2017, September 2017 and November 2017, respectively (collectively, the amended ASU 2014-09). The amended ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for the recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. It requires an entity to recognize revenue when the entity transfers 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. The amended ASU 2014-09 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s). The amended ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The effective date for the amended ASU 2014-09 is for years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective transition approach and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

With the exception of the new standard discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed on April 17, 2018, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company experienced a net loss of $2,550,969 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,087,367, and an accumulated deficit of $4,337,982. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to operate in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. 

Through August 5, 2016, the Company was dependent on the Marketing Agreement with MFHC, (the Company and MFHC agreed to cancel the Marketing Agreement, as a result of the sale by MFHC of substantially all of their assets) and is now dependent on the sale of its products and services to third parties. On May 2, 2017, the Company received a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. On May 26, 2017, the Company and the Moores were named in an action filed that includes a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. The Company, the Moores and the Plaintiff entered into a Settlement Agreement on August 13, 2018 (see Note 12).

Management’s Plans

The Company has begun to implement an industry encompassing revenue strategy, including the current revenue model to other major sectors of the global hearing industry. The Company plans include generating revenues from 7 separate revenue streams, and in the six months ended June 30, 2018, has begun to market and sell products direct to consumers online and through the Walmart.com website.

The following is a summary of the Company’s convertible notes and related discounts as of June 30, 2018:

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITES

The Company determined that the conversion features of the convertible notes represented embedded derivatives since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature is bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments is recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to each Note, with any excess of the fair value of the derivative component over the face amount of the note recorded as an expense on the issue date. Such discounts are amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded in other income or expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. See Note 10.

The Company valued the derivative liabilities at issuance, June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, at $1,442,748 and $540,965, respectively. The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions for new notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018, risk-free interest rates from 1.82% to 2.35% and volatility of 303% to 432%, and as of June 30, 2018, risk-free interest rates from 1.93% to 2.35% and volatility of 354% to 451%.

A summary of the activity related to derivative liabilities for the six months ended on June 30, 2018, is as follows:

The Company had previously received $1,250,000 under the Consulting Agreement. InnerScope was not named as an enjoined party in such previous litigation, and the services contemplated under the Consulting Agreement are not within the scope of the injunction, thus InnerScope believes the accusation by the third party is frivolous and without merit, as well as not providing sufficient cause for the Agreement to be terminated. InnerScope and the Moores filed their Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Complaint on June 27, 2017.  On the same date, InnerScope, the Moores, and MFHC filed a counterclaim.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and filed by the Company on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2018.

This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.

While our financial statements are presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our independent auditor’s report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Corporate History and Current Business

InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. (“Company”, “InnerScope”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated on June 15, 2012, with its principal place of business in Roseville, California. The Company was originally named InnerScope Advertising Agency, Inc. and was formed to provide advertising and marketing services to retail establishments in the hearing device industry. On August 25, 2017, the Company changed its name to InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the Company’s current direction as a technology driven company with a scalable business to business (B2B) solution and business to consumer (and B2C) solution. Recently, the Company began offering its own line of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) registered Hearing Aids and its “Hearable”, and “Wearable” Personal Sound Amplifier Products (PSAPs). On July 5, 2018, the Company signed a supplier agreement as a direct shipped vendor ("DSV") for Walmart.com. The Company has been accepted as a Walmart.com USA, LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.) supplier and will sell its FDA-Registered Hearing Aids and its PSAP to Walmart.com as the retailer for their Direct-To-Consumer online retail sale.

On August 5, 2016, the Company along with Mark Moore (“Mark”, the Company’s chairman), Matthew Moore (“Matthew”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and Kim Moore (“Kim”, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer) entered into a Store Expansion Consulting Agreement (the “Expansion Agreement”). Mark, Matthew and Kim are herein referred to collectively as the Moores. Pursuant to the Expansion Agreement, the Company and the Moores will be responsible for all physical plant and marketing details for new store openings during the initial term of six-months. The Expansion Agreement was cancelled on January 6, 2017. The Company’s client has decided to do their own marketing in-house and eliminate this out-sourced contract, and has decided to delay the opening of any new stores.  For the three months ending March 31, 2017, the Company has received and recognized $400,000 in other income for payments received for the cancellation of the Expansion Agreement.

Also, on August 5, 2016, the Company and the Moores entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with the same Client as the store Expansion Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement, including the Non-Compete provision covering a ten-mile radius of any retail store, the Company and the Moores were to provide unlimited licensing of the Intela-Hear brand name, exclusive access to the Aware Aural Rehab Program within 10 miles of retail stores, exclusive territory of all services within 10 miles of retail stores and up to 40 hours per month of various consulting services. The Consulting Agreement continues until January 31, 2019, unless terminated for cause, as defined in the Consulting Agreement. On May 26, 2017, the Company and the Moores were named in an action filed by the Client, that included a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. On August 13, 2018, the Client, InnerScope and the Moores executed a Settlement Agreement (See Note 12).

Compensation and benefits decreased slightly in the current three and six-month periods.

Stock based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, is comprised of:

Stock based compensation expense for 2017 was as a result of on April 3, 2017, the Company issued 333,334 shares of restricted common stock to a third party, pursuant to a one-year consulting agreement. The Company valued the shares at $0.30 per share (the market price of the common stock on the date of the agreement). The Company is amortizing the $100,000 cost over the term of the agreement, and accordingly has included $25,000 in stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, on April 7, 2017, the Company issued 300,000 shares of restricted common stock to a third party, pursuant to a consulting agreement. The Company valued the shares at $0.30 per share (the market price of the common stock on the date of the agreement), and recorded an expense of $90,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Commissions, stockholder, are the result of the Company recording commission due on all amounts recognized as revenue in the period related to the Consulting Agreement and Store Expansion Agreement.

Rent increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the Company on June 14, 2017, entered into a five-year lease with LLC1 for approximately 6,944 square feet and a monthly rent of $12,000.

General and administrative costs were $9,052 and $47,316, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $25,059 and $35,354, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Other income (expense), net

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, other expenses were $698,193 and $983,020, respectively, compared to $513,469 and $353,725 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The increases were primarily a result of the derivative expenses of $518,711 ad $669,970 related to convertible notes issued in the current periods. Interest expense also increased as a result of the convertible notes. The 2017 periods included a loss recorded on the Consulting Agreement, due to the uncertainty of future services being provided, based on the Complaint (see Note 8). The increase for the six-month period was partially offset by the Company recognizing a gain $160,000 on the cancellation of Store Expansion Agreement. The Company received $400,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and also paid $240,000 to a stockholder for services provided related to the income received pursuant to the Cancellation Agreement.

Net loss

This resulted from the lower revenues as well as increased costs as described above. Additionally, the Company has not recognized $847,223 of deferred revenue.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs to pay ongoing obligations. As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $46,753, a decrease of $37,967, from $84,720 as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, we had current liabilities of $3,346,441 (including derivative liabilities of $1,442,748 and deferred revenues of $847,223) compared to current assets of $259,074 which resulted in working capital deficit of $3,087,367. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, convertible notes payable, derivative liabilities and deferred revenue.

Our ability to operate over the next twelve months, is contingent upon continuing to realize sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing expenses, as well as the proceeds from the August 13, 2018 Settlement Agreement. If we are unable to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our working capital, or other cash requirements. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.  Our ability to operate beyond June, 2019, is contingent upon continuing to realize sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing expenses, as well as the cash from the Settlement Agreement. If we are unable to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our working capital, or other cash requirements. Since June 30, 2018, we have received $180,250, from the issuance of $198,250 of convertible notes. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of InnerScope and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries ILLC and Intela-Hear, a California limited liability company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Use of estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09, as amended effective January 1, 2018, and determined that there was no significant impact on its revenue recognition.  The Company’s contracts with customers are generally on a purchase order basis and represent obligations that are satisfied at a point in time as defined in the new guidance.  Accordingly, revenue for each project is recognized when each project is complete, and any costs incurred before this point in time, are recorded as assets to be expensed during the period the related revenue is recognized.

Income taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance can be provided for a net deferred tax asset, due to uncertainty of realization.

Net loss per common share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 90,570,304 shares of common stock. This amount is not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any outstanding common stock equivalents or any other potentially dilutive securities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to control deficiencies. During the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. The Company does not have an Audit Committee to oversee management activities, and the Company is dependent on third party consultants for the financial reporting function.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On May 26, 2017, Helix Hearing Care (California), Inc. a California corporation (“Helix”), filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against the InnerScope and the Moores, in the Circuit Court of the 11^th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, that includes a rescission of the Consulting Agreement, on the basis that an injunction against certain Officers and Directors renders the Consulting Agreement impossible to perform. InnerScope was not named as an enjoined party in such previous litigation, and the services contemplated under the Consulting Agreement are not within the scope of the injunction, thus InnerScope believes the accusation by the third party is frivolous and without merit, as well as not providing sufficient cause for the Agreement to be terminated.

InnerScope and the Moores filed their Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Complaint on June 27, 2017.  On the same date, InnerScope, the Moores, and MFHC filed a counterclaim. On February 27, 2018, the Counterclaim was amended to include four claims for breach of contract, one claim for anticipatory breach of contract, one claim for negligent misrepresentation, and one claim for account stated. On August 13, 2018, Helix, InnerScope and the Moores executed a Settlement Agreement.
