Corporate History

 

Investview, Inc. (the "Company" “Investview” or “INVU”) was incorporated on August 10, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Voxpath Holding, Inc. On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc., on October 1, 2008 to Global Investor Services, Inc. and on March 27, 2012 to Investview, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers.

 

In August 2014, the Company formed Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC, a limited liability company under the laws of California with 51% membership interests specializing in investment strategies which combine quantitative strategies, forensic accounting and volatility controls. At formation, the minority members paid an aggregate of $1,000 as equity contribution. The Company contributed $120,000 as equity contribution and is contingently obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock upon achieving certain milestones (as defined). Prior to all distributions, the Company is to receive 25% of all revenue generated until at which time the $120,000 equity contribution of the Company has been paid.

 

On December 4, 2014, the Company formed GGI Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware for the purchase certain assets including the source code and platform use for the development of an electronic marketplace to facilitate impact investing. On December 27, 2014, the Company exchanged 21% ownership of GGI Inc. for two employment agreements. In connection with the aforementioned exchange, the Company charged 21% of the fair value of the net assets distributed of $338,050 as employee compensation expense. On March 13, 2015, the Company sold GGI, Inc. in exchange for $1,147,500 cash, assumption of $579,452 of debt and return of an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc. (see Note 4).

 

On December 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement whereby the Company surrendered its equity ownership in Vickrey Brown Investments LLC and transferred ownership of SAFE Management LLC (“Safe”) in exchange for 25% of all revenue generated by Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC until an aggregate of $120,000 has been paid and 30.6% of remaining and future revenue

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Investment Tools & Training, LLC ("ITT") and Razor Data Corp ("Razor"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LCC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators Members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of the common stock of the Company. The closing of the Wealth Generators Contribution occurred after close of business on March 31, 2017, therefore, effective April 1, 2017, Wealth Generators became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (see Note 13).

 

Overview

 

Investview Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary Wealth Generators provides education, and technology designed to assist individuals in navigating the financial markets. The services include research, newsletter alerts, and live education rooms that include instruction on the subjects of equities, options, FOREX, ETF’s and binary options. In addition, to tools and research, Wealth Generators also includes education and technology applications to assist individuals in debt reduction, increased savings, budgeting and proper tax expense management.

 

 5 

 

 

Each product subscription includes a core set of tools/research along with the personal finance management suite providing an individual complete access to the information necessary to cultivate and manage their financial situation. Wealth Generators offers four packages available through a monthly subscription that can be cancelled at any time at the discretion of the customer. A unique component of the product marketing plan is the distribution method whereby all subscriptions are sold via current participating customers who choose to distribute and sell the services. The bonus plan participation is purely optional but enables individuals the ability to create an additional income stream to further support their personal financial goals and objectives.

 

Recent Developments

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LCC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), each of which are accredited investors (“Wealth Generators Members”) pursuant to which the Wealth Generators Members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of our common stock of the Company (the “Wealth Generators Contribution”).  The closing of the Wealth Generators Contribution occurred on March 31, 2017.  Considering that, following the contribution, the Wealth Generators Members control the majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock and the Company effectively succeeded its operations to Wealth Generators, it is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction.  A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of Wealth Generators securities for the Company’s net monetary assets accompanied by a recapitalization.  Wealth Generators is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of Wealth Generators. 

 

As a result of the Wealth Generators Contribution, the following Wealth Generators Members received shares of common stock of the Company as follows:

 

Wealth Engineering LLC   408,144,751
     
CR Capital Holdings LLC   649,444,710
     
Herkimer Stone LLC    67,933,547

WealthColony LLC   101,900,321
     
Stephen Poulter    15,760,582

 

The Company is unaware of any arrangements, including any pledge, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

 

On March 30, 2017, Nicholas Maturo and Louis Sagar resigned as directors of the Company. On March 31, 2017, the board appointed Ryan Smith as a director of the Company.

The Products & Services

 

Our Philosophy

 

By enabling the marriage of technology and knowledge we are able to deliver innovative solutions directly to individuals around the world. Education and information for personal finance and general financial education is largely overlooked in all levels of education. An on-going cycle of debt accumulation, inability to save, lack of planning and inadequate knowledge on how to cultivate our “capital” is passed from generation to generation.

 

By creating easy access, focused tutorials, and step by step planning, our education and technology tools provide individuals the necessary information to understand the power of proper utilization of money along with the ability to design their own path toward financial fitness.

 

Our products generally fit under 3 categories:

 

·FIND - Find money you didn't know you had by learning to better allocate the money you already make.

 

·GROW - Grow your wealth utilizing the financial markets with powerful technology and the experience of market experts.

 

·KEEP - Keep more of what you've earned by leveraging digital tools that make tax-time headaches like receipt and mileage tracking a snap.

The heart of the program is our Grow component which marries technology, market experience and research to deliver strategies direct to individuals in seconds. We have trade strategies that cover U.S. equities options and indices, FOREX and Binary Options.

 

FOREX

 

FxOnE is one of Wealth Generators’ most interactive Forex products. FxOnE includes live Forex Binary Options Sessions with our market experts, as well as Forex newsletter alerts delivered right to your phone. FxOnE also offers unique strategies and in-depth Forex training.

 8 

 

 

FxOnE Alert Tool - Wealth Generators created a convenience tool to help the user follow the alerts without having to stop what the user is doing. Our proprietary technology software allows the user to personalize the trade parameters and risk management so the user can participate even when not available.

 

The FX Accelerator utilizes technology to monitor the Forex market, attempts to identify opportunities, and sends signals in real time. It utilizes proprietary software and algorithmic technology to track the most active currency pairs in the Forex market. The FX Accelerator is a higher volume strategy issuing 2 to 12 opportunities per day. The FX Accelerator employs a systematic arbitraging strategy and uses extensive quantitative analysis of real-time price data to detect opportunities.

 

The FX Multiplier 2.0 allows the user to be a part of the Forex market as a liquidity provider, which is typically only available to institutions. Forex trading generally involves predicting the strength of one currency to another. The FX Multiplier 2.0; however, does not attempt to make market predictions, it simply relies on a performance based algorithm and artificial intelligence technology to strategically accumulate inventory. The FX Multiplier 2.0 is active at all times, strategically controlling inventory. It moves with the market, holding inventory of currency ahead of the market so when that supply is in demand, small profits can be achieved on the inventory.

The goal of the Equity Pack brings the knowledge and expertise of individuals who have been involved in the market for years directly to the user. Our market experts provide the financial technology, education, and research that allows the user to make decisions concerning the user’s money in the market. The user maintains complete control of the user’s money by using an online brokerage of your choosing. Most equity pack strategies require a margin account, and you will need level four options approval or higher.

 

Portfolio Builder: With Portfolio Builder, the user can decide which investment vehicles fit the user’s financials goals. Our Market Experts select, analyze, and review a wide field of commission free Exchange Traded Funds enabling self-directed individuals an alternative to mutual funds.

 

WG Startups provides an opportunity for the user to identify and participate in early stage businesses that may have potential to grow quickly. Michael Markowski is Wealth Generator’s startup expert.

 9 

 

 

Keep

 

The core component of our Keep philosophy is the deductr software and its ability to track and manage potential tax write-offs including automated mileage tracking in real-time. Fully deploying the capabilities of deductr, an individual can see their up to the minute potential tax write offs throughout the year. Tax season becomes a painless submission of deductr reports versus the agonizing manual process of trying to calculate expenditures once per year.

 

Our Packages

 

Each of our packages includes all three components of the FIND * GROW * KEEP philosophy. The only change in package offerings is the type of financial research and education selected in the GROW portion.

 

Each of our product packages includes a ten day no questions asked return policy. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and are billed monthly.

 

Distribution Method

 

The Company uses a network marketing distribution model to sell its product subscriptions. A current customer can participate in the optional bonus plan that rewards them for selling product subscriptions. We believe this component of our offering is extremely powerful as it provides:

·An additional income stream for the member who becomes a distributor
·Individuals are much more comfortable discussing financial matters with people they know
·The network becomes a support system for the subscribers as they learn together and share their experiences

The distribution model, while powerful, requires strict policies and procedures to ensure the company’s presentation and messaging are accurate and compliant.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

Various laws and regulations in the United States and other countries regulate network marketing, or direct selling. These laws and regulations exist at many levels of government in many different forms, including statutes, rules, regulations, judicial decisions, and administrative orders. Generally, the regulations are directed at: (i) ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within a sales organization is based on product sales rather than on investments in the organization or on other criteria that are not related to sales; and (ii) preventing the use of deceptive or fraudulent practices that have sometimes been inappropriately associated with legitimate direct selling and network marketing activities. Network marketing regulations are inherently fact-based and often do not include "bright line" rules. Additionally, we are subject to the risk that the regulations, or a regulator's interpretation and enforcement of the regulations, could change.

 

Network marketing companies, and the industry in general, continue to experience significant media and public scrutiny in many countries. Several companies that use similar distribution methods to ours have been scrutinized and penalized in several markets where we operate. This scrutiny, along with the uncertainty of the laws and regulations pertaining to network marketing in many countries, can affect how a regulator or member of the public perceives our Company. We cannot predict the impact that this scrutiny may have on our business, the industry in general or our stock price.

 

Competition

 

The Company faces competition for each of its product categories but does not have a similar competitor with the full suite of services offered. Each of the financial education products, alerts, tools and newsletters face competition from similar product companies such as TheStreet.com, Motley’s Fool, Jim Cramer and similar subscription based financial research services. The personal money management education and tools face competition from free mobile apps designed for the same purpose although Investview’s personal money management does not advertise or entice the user to refinance, secure new loans and is a pure management tool that serves the individual and not the advertiser. The company’s tax management tools and education have limited competition and we have deployed Deductr as our tool of choice. Unique to our company is not the individual product but the combined suite of products for one monthly subscription price, cancellable at any time by the user and distributed exclusively by the active members through the optional bonus plan for those who choose to sell the service to others.

 

 10 

 

 

We believe our competitive advantages include:

- One of the most generous bonus programs in the network marketing segment

- A management team with extensive experience in financial education and market strategy research/technology

- A young and motivated distributor base

- A large demographic that services all genders, race, religion, and nationalities

- A delivery platform enabling us to launch new products quickly and efficiently worldwide

 

Our competitive weaknesses include:

- translation challenges as we continue international expansion

- components of our distributor backend that are programmed by third party providers

 

Intellectual Property

 

The company’s success is predicated on the adoption of new and innovative technology, education and research along with constantly improving convenience tools. The delivery of alerts and financial information through our platform provides various levels of automation that is programmed and designed by the company exclusively for our products. We own the intellectual property for many of our products strategies and platform delivery mechanisms while we make other products available through licensed arrangements. In this way, we can continually offer a full suite of “best of breed” services to ensure our members are receiving the most value and leading-edge programs for their monthly subscription.

 

Government Regulation

 

We have positioned the Company as a knowledge provider and educator, which seeks to augment a user’s informed decision-making process, rather than act as a conductor of investment decisions or a representative of investment services. As such, our activities do not fall within the scope of securities industry regulation. We do not provide securities brokerage or investment advisory services. Our products and services also do not require that any representative distributing the services of Investview conduct themselves as an investment advisor or broker. We in fact encourage all representatives and users of our information services to seek unrelated investment professionals for securities related activities.

 

We are subject to government regulation in connection with securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies, as well as laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally. We are also increasingly subject to government regulation and legislation specifically targeting Internet companies, such as privacy regulations adopted at the local, state, national and international levels and taxes levied at the state level. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, enforcement of existing laws, such as consumer protection regulations, in connection with Web-based activities has become more aggressive, and it is expected that new laws and regulations will continue to be enacted at the local, state, national and international levels. Such new legislation, alone or combined with increasingly aggressive enforcement of existing laws, could inhibit the growth in use of the Internet and decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium, which could in turn decrease the demand for our services or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our future operating performance and business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the following material risk factors as well as all other information set forth or referred to in this report before purchasing shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The Company believes all material risk factors have been presented below. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business operating results and financial condition would likely suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to purchase our common stock.

 

Risks Related to our Business Operations

 

We have a limited operating history, and therefore there is a high risk of potential business failure unless we can overcome the various obstacles inherent to an early stage business.

 

We have only limited prior business operations. Because of our limited operating history, you may not have adequate information on which you can base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Investors should be aware of the difficulties, delays and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its early stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated research and development expenses, employment costs, and administrative expenses. We cannot assure our investors that our proposed business plans as described herein will materialize or prove successful, or that we will be able to finalize development of our products or operate profitably.

 

We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception (August 1, 2005) and we may never achieve profitability.

 

From our inception on August 1, 2005 through March 31, 2017, we have incurred cumulative losses of $98,868,122, recorded net losses from operations of $852,371 for the year ended March 31, 2017, and our cash balance on March 31, 2017 was $3,550. However, effective April 1, 2017 in conjunction with a Contribution Agreement dated March 31, 2017, Wealth Generators, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through a reverse-merger and the Company effectively succeeded its operations to Wealth Generators. Additionally, we disposed of certain of our assets pertaining to our previous operations on June 6, 2017. Accordingly, going forward the operations for the consolidated company will be those of Wealth Generators, LLC, although there can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability in the immediate future or at all as a result of our reverse-merger.

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 and our related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2017, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operations and the limited amount of funds on our balance sheet. We have prepared our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. This could make it more difficult to raise capital in the future.

  

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, which could slow or prevent our ability to achieve profitability.

 

The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our development and growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant rapid growth could strain our internal resources and delay or prevent our efforts to achieve profitability. We expect that our efforts to grow will place a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to successfully attract, train, motivate, retain and manage new employees and continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively slower growth is likely to occur and thereby slowing or negating our ability to achieve and sustain profitability.

We may not be able to fully protect our proprietary rights and we may infringe the proprietary rights of others which could result in costly litigation.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary rights related to our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property rights and technology without our authorization. The Company also relies on trade secrets, common law trademark rights and trademark registrations, as well as confidentiality and work for hire, development, assignment and license agreements with employees, consultants, third party developers, licensees and customers. Our protective measures for these intangible assets afford only limited protection and may be flawed or inadequate.

 

Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and some foreign laws do not provide the same level of protection as U.S. laws. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or patents that we may obtain, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.

 

In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. In particular, there has been an increase in the filing of suits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure defendants into entering settlement arrangements quickly to dispose of such suits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or individuals may allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights, is costly and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event of an adverse result, we could be liable for substantial damages and we may be forced to discontinue our use of the subject matter in question or obtain a license to use those rights or develop non-infringing alternatives.

 

Our business could be negatively affected by any adverse economic developments in the securities markets and/or the economy in general.

 

We depend on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities trading strategies to assist them in making their own investment decisions. Significant downturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be reluctant to make their own investment decisions and thus decrease the demand for our products.

 

Our business could be negatively affected by any improved economic developments in the securities markets and/or the economy in general.

 

We depend on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities trading strategies to assist them in making their own investment decisions. Significant upturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be less proactive in seeking ways to improve the returns on their trading or investment decisions and, thus, decrease the demand for our products.

The Company may encounter risks relating to security or other system disruptions and failures that could reduce the attractiveness of its sites and that could harm its business.

 

Although the Company has implemented various security mechanisms, its business is vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays or loss of data. For instance, because a portion of its revenue is based on individuals using credit cards to purchase subscriptions over the Internet and a portion from advertisers who seek to encourage people to use the Internet to purchase goods or services, the Company’s business could be adversely affected by these break-ins or disruptions. Additionally, its operations depend on its ability to protect systems against damage from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failure, and other events beyond the Company’s control. Moreover, the Company’s website may experience slower response times or other problems for a variety of reasons, including hardware and communication line capacity restraints, software failures or during significant increases in traffic when there have been important business or financial news stories and during the seasonal periods of peak SEC filing activity. These strains on its systems could cause customer dissatisfaction and could discourage visitors from becoming paying subscribers. The Company’s websites could experience disruptions or interruptions in service due to the failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of information from Investview.com. These types of occurrences could cause users to perceive its website and technology solutions as not functioning properly and cause them to use other methods or services of its competitors. Any disruption resulting from these actions may harm the Company’s business and may be very expensive to remedy, may not be fully covered by our insurance and could damage its reputation and discourage new and existing users from using its products and services. Any disruptions could increase costs and make profitability even more difficult to achieve.

 

The Company will need to introduce new products and services and enhance existing products and services to remain competitive.

 

Our future success depends in part on our ability to develop and enhance our products and services. In addition, the adoption of new Internet, networking or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require us to incur substantial expenditures to enhance or adapt our services or infrastructure. There are significant technical and financial costs and risks in the development of new or enhanced products and services, including the risk that we might be unable to effectively use new technologies, adapt our services to emerging industry standards or develop, introduce and market enhanced or new products and services. An inability to develop new products and services, or enhance existing offerings, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

 

The Company relies on external service providers to perform certain key functions.

 

We rely on a number of external service providers for certain key technology, processing, service and support functions. External content providers provide us with financial information, market news, charts, option and stock quotes, research reports and other fundamental data that we offer to clients. These service providers face technological and operational risks of their own. Any significant failures by them, including improper use or disclosure of our confidential client, employee or company information, could cause us to incur losses and could harm our reputation.

 

We cannot assure that any external service providers will be able to continue to provide these services in an efficient, cost-effective manner or that they will be able to adequately expand their services to meet our needs. An interruption in or the cessation of service by any external service provider as a result of systems failures, capacity constraints, financial constraints or problems, unanticipated trading market closures or for any other reason, and our inability to make alternative arrangements in a smooth and timely manner, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Company could face liability and other costs relating to storage and use of personal information about its users.

 

Users provide the Company with personal information, including credit card information, which it does not share without the user’s consent. Despite this policy of obtaining consent, however, if third persons were able to penetrate the Company’s network security or otherwise misappropriate its users’ personal or credit card information, it could be subject to liability, including claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims, and misuses of personal information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. New privacy legislation may further increase this type of liability. Furthermore, the Company could incur additional expenses if additional regulations regarding the use of personal information were introduced or if federal or state agencies were to investigate our privacy practices.

 

 14 

 

 

Legal uncertainties and government regulation of the Internet could adversely affect the Company’s business.

 

Many legal questions relating to the Internet remain unclear and these areas of uncertainty may be resolved in ways that damage the Company’s business. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws governing matters such as intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation apply to the Internet. In addition, new laws and regulations that apply directly to Internet communications, commerce and advertising are becoming more prevalent. As the use of the Internet grows, there may be calls for further regulation, such as more stringent consumer protection laws.

 

These possibilities could affect the Company’s business adversely in a number of ways. New regulations could make the Internet less attractive to users, resulting in slower growth in its use and acceptance than is expected. The Company may be affected indirectly by legislation that fundamentally alters the practicality or cost-effectiveness of utilizing the Internet, including the cost of transmitting over various forms of network architecture, such as telephone networks or cable systems, or the imposition of various forms of taxation on Internet-related activities. Complying with new regulations could result in additional cost to the Company, which could reduce its profit margins or leave it at risk of potentially costly legal action.

 

FTC Regulations

 

Advertising and marketing of our products in the United States are also subject to regulation by the FTC under the Federal Trade Commission Act, or FTC Act. Among other things, the FTC Act prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair false or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. The FTC Act also makes it illegal to disseminate or cause to be disseminated any false advertisement. The FTC routinely reviews websites to identify questionable advertising claims and practices. Competitors sometimes inform the FTC when they believe other competitors are violating the FTC Act and consumers also notify the FTC of what they believe may be wrongful advertising. The FTC may initiate a non-public investigation that focuses on our advertising claims which usually involves non-public pre-lawsuit extensive formal discovery. Such an investigation may be very expensive to defend, be lengthy, and result in a publicly disclosed Consent Decree, which is a settlement agreement. If no settlement can be reached, the FTC may start an administrative proceeding or a federal court lawsuit against us or our principal officers. The FTC often seeks to recover from the defendants, whether in a Consent Decree or a proceeding, any or all of the following: (i) consumer redress in the form of monetary relief or disgorgement of profits; (ii) significant reporting requirements for several years; and (iii) injunctive relief. In addition, most, if not all, states have statutes prohibiting deceptive and unfair acts and practices. The requirements under these state statutes are similar to those of the FTC Act.

 

Regulation of Direct Selling Activities

 

Direct selling activities are regulated by the FTC, as well as various federal, state and local governmental agencies in the United States and foreign countries. These laws and regulations are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as "pyramid" schemes, which compensate participants primarily for recruiting additional participants without significant emphasis on product sales.

 

The laws and regulations governing direct selling are modified from time to time, and, like other direct selling companies, we may be subject from time to time to government investigations related to our direct selling activities. This may require us to make changes to our business model and our compensation plan.

 

 15 

 

 

Our independent distributors could fail to comply with applicable legal requirements or our distributor policies and procedures, which could result in claims against us that could harm our business.

 

Our independent distributors are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to directly provide the same oversight, direction and motivation as we would if they were our employees. As a result, there can be no assurance that our independent distributors will comply with applicable laws or regulations or our distributor policies and procedures, participate in our marketing strategies or plans, or accept our introduction of new products.

 

Extensive federal, state, local and international laws regulate our business, products and direct selling activities. Because we have expanded into foreign countries, our policies and procedures for our independent distributors differ slightly in some countries due to the different legal requirements of each country in which we do business.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

We have a history of operating losses and expect to report future losses that may cause our stock price to decline.

 

For the operating period since inception (August 1, 2005) through March 31, 2017, we have incurred a net cumulative loss of $98,868,122. Although we reported net income of $1,753,666 for the year ending March 31, 2017, our net loss from operations was $852,371. We expect to continue to incur losses as we spend additional capital to market our products and establish our infrastructure and organization to support anticipated operations.  We cannot be certain whether we will ever be profitable, or if we do, that we will be able to continue to be profitable. Also, any economic weakness or global recession may limit our ability to market our products. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and result in you losing a portion or all of your investment.

 

We will need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail.

 

Because our revenues are not yet sufficient to cover expenses or fund our growth, we need to secure on-going funding. If we are unable to obtain adequate additional financing, we may not be able to successfully market and sell our products, our business operations will most likely be discontinued and we will cease to be a going concern. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities. Under these circumstances, we may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower stock price.

 

Our common stock has experienced in the past, and is expected to experience in the future, significant price and volume volatility, which substantially increases the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that you pay for the shares.

 

Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

¨variations in our quarterly operating results;

 

¨our ability to complete the research and development of our technologies;

 

  ¨ the development of a future market for our products;

 

  ¨ changes in market valuations of similar companies, and,

 

 16 

 

 

  ¨ fluctuations in stock market price and volume.

 

Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and technology stocks, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price regardless of our operating performance. The historical trading of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our trading price as of the date of this prospectus is not necessarily an indicator of what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future. In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies’ common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.

 

Shares of our common stock may be subject to price illiquidity and volatility because our shares may continue to be thinly traded and may never become eligible for trading on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange.

 

Although a trading market for our common stock exists, the trading volume has not been significant and an active trading market for our common stock may never develop. There currently is no analyst coverage of our business. During the period from March 31, 2016 through March 31, 2017 the average daily trading volume of our common stock was approximately 5,938 shares (or approximately 0.1% of the shares currently available in the market as of March 31, 2017). The trading volume of our shares will continue to be limited due to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws and the fact that approximately 55% of our outstanding shares are held by officers, directors and stockholders holding greater than a 5% interest in the Company. As a result of the limited trading market for our common stock and the lack of analyst coverage, the market price for our shares may continue to fluctuate significantly and will likely be more volatile than the stock market as a whole. There may be a limited demand for shares of our common stock due to the reluctance or inability of certain investors to buy stocks quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, lack of analyst coverage of our common stock and limited trading market for our common stock. As a result, even if prices appear favorable, there may not be sufficient demand to complete a stockholder’s sell order. Without an active public trading market or broader public ownership, shares of our common stock are likely to be less liquid than the stock of public companies with broad public ownership and an active trading market, and any of our stockholders who attempt to sell their shares in any significant volumes may not be able to do so at all, or without depressing the publicly quoted bid prices for our shares.

 

While we may, at some point, be able to meet the requirements necessary for our common stock to be listed on the NASDAQ stock market or on another national securities exchange, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve such a listing. Listing on one of the NASDAQ markets or one of the national securities exchanges is subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and minimum public “float” requirements. There are also continuing eligibility requirements for companies listed on national securities exchanges. If we are unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit your ability to sell your shares, which could result in you losing some or all of your investments.

 

There is no assurance of an established public trading market, which would adversely affect the ability of investors in our company to sell their securities in the public markets.

 

Although our common stock trades on the OTCQB, a regular trading market for our common stock may not be sustained in the future. OTC Markets limits quotation on the OTCQB, to securities of issuers that are current in their reports filed with the SEC. If we fail to be current in the filing of our reports with the SEC, our common stock will not be able to be traded on the OTCQB.  The OTCQB is an inter-dealer market that provides significantly less liquidity than a national securities exchange or automated quotation system. Quotes for stocks included on the OTCQB are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for stocks listed on national securities exchanges or automated quotation systems. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTCQB may be difficult to obtain and holders of common stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Market prices for our common stock may be influenced by a number of factors, including:

 

 17 

 

 

  ¨ the issuance of new equity securities;

 

  ¨ changes in interest rates;

 

  ¨ competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

  ¨ variations in quarterly operating results;

 

  ¨ change in financial estimates by securities analysts;

 

  ¨ the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;

 

  ¨ investor perceptions of our company and the technologies industries generally; and

 

  ¨ general economic and other national conditions.

 

Our Common Stock will be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

  ¨ that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
     
  ¨ the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

  ¨ obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
     
  ¨ make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

  ¨ sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

 

  ¨ that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

 18 

 

  

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Failure to Achieve And Maintain Internal Controls In Accordance With Sections 302 And 404(A) Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business And Stock Price.

 

If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls or fail to implement required new or improved controls, as such control standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time; we may not be able to assert that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important in the prevention of financial fraud.  If we cannot produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and there could be a material adverse effect on our stock price. We have examined and evaluated our internal control procedures, including controls over financial reporting to satisfy the requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as required for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017, and noted weaknesses that need to be addresses during the current reporting period in order for our internal controls to be effective. Failure to implement and maintain internal controls in accordance with sections 302 and 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

 

Because we have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investments.

 

We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and investment opportunities. In addition, our senior credit facility limits the payment of dividends without the prior written consent of the lenders. Accordingly, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur.

 

Certain provisions of Nevada law and of our corporate charter may inhibit a potential acquisition of our Company, and this could depress our stock price.

 

Nevada corporate law includes provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company or our management. These provisions could discourage information contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. For example:

 

(i)without prior stockholder approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of common stock and to determine the rights, privileges and inference of that preferred stock;
  
(ii)there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and
  
(iii)stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.  However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. The Company had no pending legal proceedings or claims as of March 31, 2017 and through the date of this report.

 

In May 2016, Wealth Generators, LLC, received a written request for production of documents from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the“CFTC”) that appeared to have been focused on claims made by Wealth Generators about the performance of its trading recommendations. Wealth Generators responded to that request for production and to several follow-up requests, with the last response from Wealth Generators having been submitted in November 2016. Wealth Generators answered additional questions on May 11, 2017. Wealth Generators has received no further communications from the CFTC since that date.

 

The Company has received notice from the New York State Workers Compensation Board that a judgement was filed against them in the amount of $13,000, along with total penalties of $29,034, however, effective July 5, 2017 the Company has confirmed a payment in the amount $4,350 will settle the amounts in full. Additionally, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ITT, has received notice from the New York State Workers Compensation Board that a judgement was filed against them in the amount of $22,000, however, effective July 5, 2017 the Company has confirmed a payment in the amount $4,620 will settle the amounts in full. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $8,970 as an accrued liability and a selling, general and administrative expense as of, and during, the year ended March 31, 2017.

 

None of our directors, officers, or affiliates are involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or have a material interest adverse to our business.

The Company issued 21,069,580 and 400,000 shares of stock valued at $989,580 and $13,800 for compensation and director fees, respectively, of which $157,191 was for current year services and $846,189 was for amounts previously accrued.

 

The Company also issued 72,709,924 shares of its common stock in settlement of debt, wherein principal, accrued interest, and derivative liabilities were extinguished in the amounts of $1,983,686, $414,160, and $156,596, respectively, and the Company recognized a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of $2,179,722.

 

The Company also wrote off $250,000 worth of Common Stock Subscription Receivable to Additional Paid in Capital during the year ended March 31, 2017 due to the amounts being uncollectible.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LCC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), each of which are accredited investors (“Wealth Generators Members”) pursuant to which the Wealth Generators Members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of our common stock of the Company (the “Wealth Generators Contribution”).  The closing of the Wealth Generators Contribution occurred on March 31, 2017.  Considering that, following the contribution, the Wealth Generators Members control the majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock and the Company effectively succeeded its operations to Wealth Generators, it is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction.  A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of Wealth Generators securities for the Company’s net monetary assets accompanied by a recapitalization.  Wealth Generators is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of Wealth Generators.

 

The offers, sales, and issuances of the securities described above were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions was an accredited or sophisticated person and had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about us.

Background

 

Investview, Inc. (the "Company" or “INVU”) was incorporated on August 10, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Voxpath Holding, Inc. On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc., on October 1, 2008 to Global Investor Services, Inc. and on March 27, 2012 to Investview, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers.

 

In August 2014, the Company formed Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC, a limited liability company under the laws of California with 51% membership interests specializing in investment strategies which combine quantitative strategies, forensic accounting and volatility controls. At formation, the minority members paid an aggregate of $1,000 as equity contribution. The Company contributed $120,000 as equity contribution and is contingently obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock upon achieving certain milestones (as defined). Prior to all distributions, the Company is to receive 25% of all revenue generated until at which time the $120,000 equity contribution of the Company has been paid.

 

On December 4, 2014, the Company formed GGI Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware for the purchase certain assets including the source code and platform use for the development of an electronic marketplace to facilitate impact investing. On December 27, 2014, the Company exchanged 21% ownership of GGI Inc. for two employment agreements. In connection with the aforementioned exchange, the Company charged 21% of the fair value of the net assets distributed of $338,050 as employee compensation expense. On March 13, 2015, the Company sold GGI, Inc. in exchange for $1,147,500 cash, assumption of $579,452 of debt and return of an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc. (see Note 4).

 

 23 

 

  

On December 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement whereby the Company surrendered its equity ownership in Vickrey Brown Investments LLC and transferred ownership of SAFE Management LLC (“Safe”) in exchange for 25% of all revenue generated by Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC until an aggregate of $120,000 has been paid and 30.6% of remaining and future revenue

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Investment Tools & Training, LLC ("ITT") and Razor Data Corp ("Razor"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LCC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators Members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of the common stock of the Company. The closing of the Wealth Generators Contribution occurred after close of business on March 31, 2017, therefore, effective April 1, 2017, Wealth Generators became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Transition Activities

 

As a result of the acquisition of Wealth Generators LLC, effective April 1, 2017, the Company is in a state of transition. Certain of the assets pertaining to the former Investview services offered prior to the acquisition have been sold or discontinued. Ryan Smith has been named the Chief Executive Officer replacing Dr. Joseph Louro who resigned on April 6, 2017. Annette Raynor has been named Chief Operating Officer replacing Anthony Lotito who resigned on April 3, 2017. William Kosoff remains Acting Chief Financial Officer but resigned from the Board of Directors on April 16, 2017. Nicholas Maturo and Louis Sagar resigned from the Board of Directors on March 31, 2017. On June 6, 2017 Annette Raynor and Chad Miller were named to the Board of Directors. On April 7, 2017, the Company replaced the auditors Liggett & Webb PA (“former auditor”) and engaged Haynie and Company as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

 

The Company’s immediate focus is to complete all audited financial matters and disclosure events while facilitating the transition of both the Board of Directors and Corporate Officers.

 

Plan of Operations

 

With the acquisition of Wealth Generators LLC, Investview plans to focus entirely on the expansion and growth of the Wealth Generators product and distribution model. Investview Inc. also maintains ownership SAFE Management LLC a registered investment advisory firm in the state of New Jersey which lapsed in reporting. Plans to bring reporting current and re-establishing its registration is being undertaken. All former products offered by Investview are replaced entirely by the Wealth Generators LLC product line.

 

The Company’s target market is comprised of individuals who seek to learn how to improve their financial condition. They have an interest and need to learn how to reduce debt, budget, increase savings and allocate their financial resource to create additional income both active and passive.

 

The Company’s marketing strategy for their subscription based offering is unique in that it deploys a network marketing distribution method where current members may optionally choose to participate in the company’s bonus plan and sell the Company’s subscriptions to others.

 

Customer acquisition is realized through word of mouth marketing by those customers who actively distribute the product through home meetings, in person presentations, one-on-one interaction and large seminars organized and delivered by the distributors in conjunction with the company.

 

 24 

 

  

The Company’s plan is to continue to develop the in-place network and anticipates significant growth initiatives in Germany and Mexico. Additional markets in the Philippines, Costa Rica and Turkey are in development.

 

Over the past few years, Wealth Generators has intentionally increased expenses to prepare the Company’s platform to handle the steadily increasing subscription membership. Going forward, management believes the current state will support this growth without a significant increase in expenses other than customer support and the bonus plan which rises commensurate with revenues. Our investments in our platform, personnel, and executive management provides us the ability to handle over four times our current volume.

 

Investview will still need to address the larger undertaking of language translation and continued international expansion which will require additional funding. The Company currently has multiple lead sources that are finalizing their due diligence process and anticipates closing on this funding in the very near future.

 

Below we have described revenues and significant operating expenses for comparable periods:

 

Revenues

 

Revenue decreased $222,461, or 63%, from $353,956 for the year ended March 31, 2016 to $131,465 for the year ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was due to a lack of funding and our inability to spend marketing dollars and attract new customers. Because of our cash flow challenges, we were unable to keep our technology updated, nor could we make improvements to such, therefore our existing customer base deteriorated. Furthermore, during the year ended March 31, 2017 management focused their efforts on the acquisition of Wealth Generators, Inc., therefore spent less time on top line growth.

 

Operating costs

 

Operating costs decreased $1,034,903, or 51%, from $2,018,739 for the year ended March 31, 2016 to $983,836 for the year ended March 31, 2017. This was due to a decrease in our cost of sales and service of $40,227 and a decrease in selling, general and administrative costs of $994,676. The decreases could mostly be explained by our overall reduction in operations and our decreasing revenues. Due to our cash flow shortages as we lacked the ability to spend money and started falling behind with our creditors, thus were forced to cut costs and reduce expenditures where possible.

 

Other income and expenses

 

Other income and (expense) went from $(439,617) for the year ended March 31, 2016 to $2,606,038 for the year ended March 31, 2017. For the year ended March 31, 2016 the other expense was a result of interest expense of $660,498 and a loss on disposal of subsidiaries of $26,058, offset by a gain on derivative valuation of $246,939. Comparatively, for the year ended March 31, 2017 the other income was made up of a gain on debt extinguishment of $3,170,326, a gain on derivative valuation of $84,284, offset by interest expense of $648,573.

 

While the interest expense remained fairly consistent between years, there was a $162,655 decrease in the gain on derivative valuation which was mostly due to the Company’s note holders converting their notes into shares during the year ended March 31, 2017. As a result of the conversions, derivative liabilities were extinguished through equity issuances and there were fewer changes in the derivative liability for valuations from period to period.

 

 25 

 

  

The $3,170,326 increase in the gain on debt extinguishment for the year ended March 31, 2017 could mostly be explained by the Company’s note holders converting their notes into shares. Specifically, the Company issued 72,709,924 shares of its common stock in settlement of debt, wherein principal, accrued interest, and derivative liabilities were extinguished in the amounts of $1,994,362, $414,160, and $128,490, respectively, and the Company recognized a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of $2,163,813. In addition to the note conversions the Company was also able to issue 6,072,200 shares of common stock with a value of $31,775 for legal and consulting services, of which $18,390 was for current year services and $173,647 was for services incurred in previous periods, therefore the Company recorded a gain on settlement of debt for $160,262. Another $630,642 of the gain could be explained by the Company writing off previously estimated tax liabilities and lastly, the Company’s CFO forgave $60,853 of liabilities owed to him, which also contributed to the recorded gain.

 

Cash used in operating activities

 

During the year ended March 31, 2017, we reported net cash used in operating activities of $193,019 versus $1,108,542 in the same period last year. The variance from year to year was due to our overall reduction in operations due to our cash flow shortages as we lacked the ability to spend money and started falling behind with our creditors, thus we were forced to cut costs and reduce expenditures where possible.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

During fiscal year 2017, the Company reported net income of $1,753,666. However, this was mostly due to the Company’s gain on debt extinguishment of $3,170,326, as the Company reported net loss from operations of $852,371. Cash and cash equivalents were $3,550, a decrease of $4,147 from the previous year of $7,697.

 

As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets equal to a working capital deficit of $976,307. A year ago, at March 31, 2016, the working capital deficit was $2,823,549. Most significantly, the Company’s debt was reduced through conversions into common stock, stock issued for liabilities and for services, and debt forgiven or written off during the year ended March 31, 2017.

 

The above matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company raised $92,500 in cash proceeds from the issuance of a notes and entering into a based factoring agreement, net of repayments, and received proceeds from the sale of stock of $157,500.  Additionally, effective April 1, 2017 in conjunction with a Contribution Agreement dated March 31, 2017, Wealth Generators, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through a reverse-merger and the Company effectively succeeded its operations to Wealth Generators. Subsequent to March 31, 2017 Wealth Generators received cash proceeds of $825,000 and $30,000 from new debt and equity financing arrangements, respectively.

 

The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of common stock and proceeds from private placements of convertible and other debt.  However, through Wealth Generators the Company plans to reduce obligations and fund the Company with cash flow provided by operations. The Company also intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities. If the Company is unable to fund the Company through operations or raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support increased operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

Critical accounting policies

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.

 

 26 

 

  

Revenue Recognition

 

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

 

The Company defers any revenue for which the product or services has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the customers are charged a monthly subscription fee for access to the online training and courses and website/data.  Revenues are recognized in the month the product and services are delivered.

 

The Company sells its products separately and in various bundles that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

 

Product   Recognition Policy
Live Workshops and Workshop Certificates   Deferred and recognized as the workshop is provided or certificate expires
     
Online training and courses Deferred and recognized a.) as the services are delivered, or b.) when usage thresholds are met, or c.) on a straight-line basis over the initial product period
     
Website/data fees (monthly)   Not deferred, recognized in the month delivered
     
Website/data fees (pre-paid subscriptions)    Deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2017 and 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, notes payable, convertible notes payable, derivative liabilities and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

 27 

 

  

Derivative Liability

 

The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 207 and 2016 the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 creates a new topic in the ASC Topic 606 and establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new Subtopic to the Codification, ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers, to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Early application is not permitted. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

 

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock.

 

Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results

 

We have sought to identify what we believe are significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise.

 

Potential Fluctuations in Annual Operating Results

 

Our annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including: the demand for our products and services; seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the commercial and consumer financing; price competition or pricing changes in the market; technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the consumer financing sector.

 

Our annual results may also be significantly impacted by the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Particularly at our early stage of development, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results may fall below our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.

 

Management of Growth

 

We may experience growth, which will place a strain on our managerial, operational and financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and manage growth if it occurs, we must devote management attention and resources to improve our financial strength and our operational systems. Further, we will need to expand, train and manage our sales and distribution base. There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively manage our existing operations or the growth of our operations, or that our facilities, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support any future growth. Our ability to manage our operations and any future growth will have a material effect on our stockholders.

 

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

 29 

 

  

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 8. Financial Statements

 

The financial statements begin on Page F-1.

 

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

Previous independent registered public accounting firm

 

On April 7, 2017 (the “Dismissal Date”), the Company advised Liggett & Webb PA (the “Former Auditor”) that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss the Former Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 7, 2017. The report of the Former Auditor on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle except that such audit contained an explanatory paragraph, which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2016 and through the Dismissal Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2016 and through the Dismissal Date, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

New independent registered public accounting firm

 

On April 7, 2017 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged Haynie & Company (“New Auditor”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The decision to engage the New Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with the New Auditor regarding either:

 

  1. application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

 

 30 

 

  

  2. any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2017.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified material weaknesses regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses have been due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff and reliance on outside consultants for external reporting.  The Company expects that with the acquisition of Wealth Generators, LLC, moving forward the Company will have adequate resources to remediate these deficiencies.

 

In light of the above-mentioned material weaknesses, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Investview, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Investview, Inc. as of March 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for year then ended. Investview, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit 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 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 audit 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 Investview, Inc. as of March 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and its current cash flow is not enough to meet current needs. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Investview, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Investview, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audit 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 consolidated 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Note 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2016, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Investview, Inc. (the "Company" or “INVU”) was incorporated on August 10, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Voxpath Holding, Inc. On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc., on October 1, 2008 to Global Investor Services, Inc. and on March 27, 2012 to Investview, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers.

 

In August 2014, the Company formed Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC, a limited liability company under the laws of California with 51% membership interests specializing in investment strategies which combine quantitative strategies, forensic accounting and volatility controls. At formation, the minority members paid an aggregate of $1,000 as equity contribution. The Company contributed $120,000 as equity contribution and is contingently obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock upon achieving certain milestones (as defined). Prior to all distributions, the Company is to receive 25% of all revenue generated until at which time the $120,000 equity contribution of the Company has been paid.

 

On December 4, 2014, the Company formed GGI Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware for the purchase certain assets including the source code and platform use for the development of an electronic marketplace to facilitate impact investing. On December 27, 2014, the Company exchanged 21% ownership of GGI Inc. for two employment agreements. In connection with the aforementioned exchange, the Company charged 21% of the fair value of the net assets distributed of $338,050 as employee compensation expense. On March 13, 2015, the Company sold GGI, Inc. in exchange for $1,147,500 cash, assumption of $579,452 of debt and return of an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc.

 

On December 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement whereby the Company surrendered its equity ownership in Vickrey Brown Investments LLC and transferred ownership of SAFE Management LLC (“Safe”) in exchange for 25% of all revenue generated by Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC until an aggregate of $120,000 has been paid and 30.6% of remaining and future revenue

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Investment Tools & Training, LLC ("ITT") and Razor Data Corp ("Razor"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LCC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators Members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of the common stock of the Company. The closing of the Wealth Generators Contribution occurred after close of business on March 31, 2017, therefore, effective April 1, 2017, Wealth Generators became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the former members of Wealth Generators control the majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock (see Note 13).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

 

The Company defers any revenue for which the product or services has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the customers are charged a monthly subscription fee for access to the online training and courses and website/data.  Revenues are recognized in the month the product and services are delivered.

 

The Company sells its products separately and in various bundles that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

 

Product   Recognition Policy
Live Workshops and Workshop Certificates   Deferred and recognized as the workshop is provided or certificate expires
     
Online training and courses   Deferred and recognized a.) as the services are delivered, or b.) when usage thresholds are met, or c.) on a straight-line basis over the initial product period
     
Website/data fees (monthly)   Not deferred, recognized in the month delivered
     
Website/data fees (pre-paid subscriptions)    Deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period

 

Cost of Sales and Service

 

The cost of sales and service consists of the cost of the data feeds that supply twenty minute delayed stock market data to the Company’s stock analysis software based tool, external partner commissions and other costs associated with the repair or maintenance of the website.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2017 and 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, notes payable, convertible notes payable, derivative liabilities and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

Derivative Liability

 

The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges. See Note 6 for discussion of the Company’s derivative liabilities.

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock

options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $598 and $1,654 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 207 and 2016 the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 207 and 2016 the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options and warrants (17,045,455, 35,000, and 6,534,810, respectively, as of March 31, 2017) have been excluded common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 creates a new topic in the ASC Topic 606 and establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new Subtopic to the Codification, ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers, to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Early application is not permitted. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements.

2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant recurring losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $98,868,122, net loss from operations of $852,371 and a working capital deficit of $976,307 as of and for the year ended March 31, 2017 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company raised $92,500 in cash proceeds from the issuance of a notes and entering into a based factoring agreement, net of repayments, and received proceeds from the sale of stock of $157,500.  Additionally, effective April 1, 2017 in conjunction with a Contribution Agreement dated March 31, 2017, Wealth Generators, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through a reverse-merger and the Company effectively succeeded its operations to Wealth Generators. Subsequent to March 31, 2017 Wealth Generators received cash proceeds of $825,000 and $30,000 from new debt and equity financing arrangements, respectively (see Note 13).

 

The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of common stock and proceeds from private placements of convertible and other debt.  However, through Wealth Generators the Company plans to reduce obligations and fund the Company with cash flow provided by operations. The Company also intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities. If the Company is unable to fund the Company through operations or raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support increased operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

3. SETTLEMENT PAYABLE

 

On January 20, 2009, the Company received $200,000 in exchange for a promissory note, payable, due July 20, 2009 with interest due monthly at 20% per annum. The note was secured by common stock of the Company and was personally guaranteed by certain officers of the Company. The note contained certain first right of payment should the Company be successful in raising $500,000 to $1,500,000 in a Private Placement Offering before any payments could be distributed from the escrow at the offering. In connection with the issuance of the promissory note payable, the Company issued warrants to purchase its common stock at $2.00 per share for five years. The fair value of the warrants of $101,183, representing debt discount, has been fully amortized.

 

On August 12, 2013, Evenflow Funding, LLC ("Evenflow") commenced a civil action (the “NJ Action”) against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County (the "Court") bearing Docket No.. Mon-L-3105-13 in collection of the above described promissory note issued January 20, 2009 and related accrued interest.

 

On October 13, 2014, the Company and Evenflow agreed to a settlement and a Stipulation of Settlement (the "Settlement") was filed with the Court, in connection with the NJ Action. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company agreed to pay to Evenflow a total of $425,000 (the "Settlement Amount") in quarterly payments (the "Quarterly Payments") equal to 10% of the net revenue (revenue less allowances, returns and payments to revenue sharing agreements) of the Company as reported in the Company's periodic reports filed on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K (collectively, the "Periodic Reports") commencing with the Company's December 31, 2014 Periodic Report. The Quarterly Payments are due and payable by the Company on the tenth day following the filing of each Periodic Report. In addition to the Quarterly Payments, the Company agreed to make an initial payment in the amount of $25,000 upon the filing of the Settlement with the Court, as well as a payment in the amount of $25,000 due on the 12 month anniversary of the initial payment. The aggregate total of all payments including the upfront $25,000, the one year anniversary $25,000, and the quarterly payments is to be $425,000.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company reclassified the promissory note and accrued interest to settlement payable. No material gain or loss was recorded in connection with the settlement. The unpaid balance as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $344,392. As of March 31, 2017 the Company was in default on this liability, however, in conjunction with the Wealth Generators reverse-merger, effective April 1, 2017, this liability was assigned and assumed by Alpha Pro Asset Management Group, LLC, an entity associated with the former management of the Company (see Note 13).

All interest and principal must be repaid on November 13, 2016 and is convertible into common stock, at Crown Bridge Partners, LLC’ s option, at a 52% discount to the lowest trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion.

 

On May 25, 2016 the Company amended the Note such that the holder waived all events of default that existed and the Note principal increased by $21,875. During the year ended March 31, 2017 the Company paid $7,500 to settle this amount and $14,375 was recorded as a gain on settlement. On May 31, 2016 the Company replaced the Note with a new note entered into with Azoth Fund, LLC for $73,500 after receiving $32,500 in cash proceeds and recording $6,500 in interest expense at inception. The Azoth Note has an original issue discount of $3,500, bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, is due 12 months from the date of issuance, and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price that is 50% multiplied by the lowest market price of the previous 20 trading prices.

[6]On February 24, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of $160,000 convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 12% per annum due upon maturity along with principal on August 31, 2016. The convertible promissory notes are convertible, at the holders’ option, at $0.10 per share at any time, the due date or the time of a $5 million equity event, as defined.

 

In connection with the issuance of the convertible promissory notes, the Company issued detachable warrants granting the holder the right to acquire an aggregate of 320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share and expire 2 years from the date of issuance. The Company determined that the conversion feature in each of the notes required classification as an embedded derivative. The accounting treatment requires that the Company record at fair value at inception as a liability. The determined fair value exceeded the net proceeds received, therefore no value were assigned to the issued detachable warrants as described in ASC 470-20.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2017 $160,000 of the principal was converted into 3,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to reduce the liability to zero.

Interest will also be converted into common stock at the conversion rate of $1.00 per share.

 

In connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, the Company issued detachable warrants granting the holder the right to acquire an aggregate of 1,603,121 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share, net cancellation of previously issued 150,000 warrants to acquire the Company’s stock at $6.00. The new warrants expire five years from the issuance. The Company did not record an embedded beneficial conversion feature in the notes since the fair value of the common stock did not exceed the conversion rate at the date of issuance.

 

In connection with the exchange, the Company recorded an aggregate loss on settlement of debt of $1,588,616 comprised of $1,442,805 representing the fair value of the issued warrants and $145,811 representing the above described incentive. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 1.62%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 422.71%.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2016, one note for $100,000 previously settled as described above was disputed.

INVESTVIEW, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

At March 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $42,726,000 that may be offset against future taxable income for the year 2018 through 2037. No tax benefit from continuing or discontinued operations have been reported in the March 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

Due to change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operation loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

 

The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 in accounting for its uncertain tax positions.  ASC 740 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, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the

tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has determined that the Company has no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740.

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company had no accruals for interest and tax penalties at March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change within the next twelve months.

 

The Company is required to file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, in New York State, New Jersey, and in Utah. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before March 31, 2013.

 

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

 

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of March 31, 2017:

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Merger with Wealth Generators, LLC

 

Effective April 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Wealth Generators, LLC (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of the Company’s common stock. Following the contribution, the Wealth Generators members control the majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock and Wealth Generators became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB (ASC 805). Wealth Generators is the acquirer solely for financial accounting purposes. For purposes of the pro forma financial information contained below, Wealth Generators purchase price to acquire the Company was estimated based on an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock of $0.0044. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is dependent upon certain procedures that have not been finalized. The actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the transaction may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements constitute forward-looking information and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The historical financial information has been derived from the audited financial statements of Wealth Generators as filed on June 30, 2017 in the Company’s Form 8K-A and the audited financial statements of INVU. The financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the reverse merger, are factually supportable and, in the case of the pro forma statements of operations, have a recurring impact. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, is for informational purposes only, and the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the reverse merger taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

[1]During the year ended March 31, 2017 Wealth Generators, LLC ("WG") was utilizing the INVU merchant account to process a number of the WG sales transactions. In exchange for the use of the account, WG was making payments on an INVU note payable on INVU's behalf. As of March 31, 2017 INVU was holding $162,430 in their merchant account that belonged to WG, therefore had a liability recorded on their books while WG had a corresponding receivable. This entry eliminates those intercompany balances as if the entities had been consolidated as of March 31, 2017.

 

[2]In conjunction with the Acquisition, INVU entered into an assignment and assumption agreement wherein they issued 24,914,348 shares of their common stock to Alpha Pro Asset Management Group, LLC ("Alpha Pro"), an entity affiliated with the prior members of management, in exchange for Alpha Pro's assumption of $482,588 worth of liabilities. This entry records the issuance of shares, the extinguishment of debt, and the gain on the transaction. One of the notes assumed by Alpha Pro had a derivative liability recorded on the INVU’s books for $31,157, therefore that liability was also extinguished with the execution of the agreement.

 

[3]INVU issued 1,358,670,942 shares of their common stock to the members of Wealth Generators, LLC in exchange for 100% of the outstanding securities of WG. This entry records the issuance of shares to ensure the capital accounts reflects that of the legal acquirer (INVU), records goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and eliminates INVU's historical stockholders' deficit.

 

The fair value of the consideration effectively transferred was measured based on the fair value of INVU’s shares that were outstanding immediately before the transaction of 150,465,339. Using the closing market price of INVU’s shares on March 31, 2017 of $0.0044 consideration was valued at $662,047.

 

Cash  $3,550 
Receivables   150,000 
Total assets acquired   153,550 
      
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   456,599 
Due to former management   127,199 
Debt   26,314 
Total liabilities assumed   610,112 
      
Net liabilities assumed   456,562 
      
Consideration   662,047 
      
Goodwill  $1,118,609 

 

[4]On June 6, 2017 INVU entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Market Trend Strategies, LLC ("Market"), a company whose members are also former members of management of INVU. In accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, INVU spun-off the operations of INVU that existed prior to the merger with Wealth Generators, LLC and sold the intangible assets used in the operations of INVU pre-merger in exchange for Market assuming $419,139 worth of liabilities that had been on the books pre-merger. Because there was goodwill that was recorded in conjunction with the merger, and it therefore related to the INVU operations that were acquired, this spin-off entry effectively reduced the goodwill to zero, reduced the liabilities that had been assumed, removed the expenses related to the spun-off operations of INVU pre-merger, and resulted in a gain on spin-off of operations.

 

[5]This entry reclasses the members deficit of Wealth Generators, LLC to accumulated deficit of the consolidated entity.

 

Other agreements

 

As documented in elimination entry [2] above, in conjunction with the reverse acquisition with Wealth Generators, the Company entered into an assignment and assumption agreement wherein they issued 24,914,348 shares of their common stock to Alpha Pro Asset Management Group, LLC ("Alpha Pro"), an entity affiliated with the prior members of management, in exchange for Alpha Pro's assumption of $482,588 worth of liabilities. One of the notes assumed by Alpha Pro had a derivative liability recorded on the Company’s books for $31,157, therefore that liability was also extinguished with the execution of the agreement.

 

As documented in elimination entry [4] above, on June 6, 2017 the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Market Trend Strategies, LLC ("Market"), a company whose members are also former members of management of the Company. In accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company spun-off its operations that existed prior to the merger with Wealth Generators, LLC and sold the intangible assets used in the operations of the Company pre-merger in exchange for Market assuming $419,139 worth of liabilities that had been on the books pre-merger.
