There are no centralized or integrated operational functions such as marketing, sales, legal or other professional services and there is little involvement by Concierge’s management in the day-to-day business affairs of its operating subsidiary businesses. Concierge’s corporate management is responsible for capital allocation decisions, investment activities and selection and retention of the Chief Executive to head each of the operating subsidiaries. Concierge's corporate management is also responsible for corporate governance practices, monitoring regulatory affairs, including those of its operating businesses and involvement in governance-related issues of its subsidiaries as needed.

 

NOTE 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Principles

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation, prepared on an accrual basis, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K filed on October 13, 2017 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are referred herein as the “Financial Statements” include the accounts of Concierge and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Wainwright, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier and Original Sprout.

 

Wainwright was acquired during the prior fiscal year. Due to the commonality of ownership and control between the two companies, the transaction has been accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control (Refer to Note 13 of the Financial Statements). The accompanying Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 include the assets, liabilities and the results of operations of Wainwright at carrying amounts as though the transaction and exchange of equity interests has occurred at the beginning of the comparative period, or July 1, 2016.

 

All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Financial Statements are in conformity with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.

 

 

The Company’s subsidiary, Wainwright, maintains cash balances at various high credit quality institutions and from time to time those deposits exceed the FDIC coverage amount of $250,000. As of December 31, 2017 the uninsured amount for Wainwright subsidiaries totaled approximately $3.8 million, though no losses have been realized and none are expected. Cash balances in Canada are maintained at a financial institution in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan by the Company’s subsidiary. Each account is insured up to CD$100,000 by Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC). The Company’s subsidiary had an uninsured cash balance in Canada of approximately CD$0.7 million (approximately US$0.5million) at December 31, 2017. Balances at financial institutions within certain foreign countries, including New Zealand where the Company’s subsidiary maintains cash balances, are not covered by insurance. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in uninsured accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately NZ$0.6 million (approximately US$0.4 million). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Accounts Receivable - Related Parties and Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable - related parties, consist of fund asset management fees receivable from the Wainwright business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts as all amounts are deemed collectible.

 

Accounts receivable, net, consist of receivables from the Bridagier, Gourmet Foods and Original Sprout businesses. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company had $46,551 and nil, respectively, recorded in doubtful accounts.

 

Major Customers & Suppliers – Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Concierge, through Original Sprout, is dependent upon its relationship with a product packaging company who, at the direction of Original Sprout, manufactures the products, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by this packaging company, although if this relationship were to fail there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing. For the current three and six month periods, Original Sprout, which was acquired on December 18, 2017, included only 13 days of operations in our financial statements. As a result, a list of major customers over this time period would not be indicative of actual concentration of risk with regard to sales revenues or accounts receivable and is therefore omitted.

 

Concierge, through Brigadier, is dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company who purchases the monitoring contracts and provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. Sales revenues derived from this customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly residuals from monitoring contracts, totaled 27% of the total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 36% for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to 46% of the total revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 and 46% for the six month period ended December 31, 2016, respectively, while accounting for approximately 19% and 40% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Sales to one large customer totaled 32% of the total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2017 but were insignificant for other comparison periods and not likely to repeat on a regular basis. This customer also accounted for 48% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017 as compared to 0% as of June 30, 2017.

 

Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, our largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 17% and 18%, respectively, of our gross sales revenues as compared to 16% and 18%, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The same customer accounted for 25% and 26% of our accounts receivable for as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The second largest in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 11% and 11% of our gross revenues for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to 11% and 11% of gross revenues for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2016. The same customer accounted for 14% of our accounts receivable for as of December 31, 2017 compared to 11% as of June 30, 2017. In the gasoline convenience store market we supply two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers who, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 accounted for approximately 44% and 42%, respectively, of our gross sales revenues as compared to 43% and 42% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of our accounts receivable. The second largest are independent operators accounting for less than 10% of gross sales however no single independent operator is responsible for a significant portion of our accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the balance of our gross sales revenue however the group is fragmented and no one customer accounts for a significant portion of our revenues or accounts receivable. Gourmet Foods is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise.

 

 

For our subsidiary, Wainwright, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated three and six month revenues as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 along with the accounts receivable at December 31, 2017 as compared with June 30, 2017 as depicted below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting primarily of food products and packaging in New Zealand, hair and skin care finished products and components in the U.S. and security system hardware in Canada, are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a FIFO basis) or net realizable value. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs where applicable. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their net realizable value, if lower. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 impairment to inventory value was recorded as $0 and $2,090, respectively. An assessment is made at the end of each fiscal year to determine what inventory items have remained in stock from the close of the previous fiscal year. If such items exist, either a reserve is established to reduce inventory value by the value of these items, or these items are removed from the inventory valuation and recorded as an expense. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the expense for slow moving or obsolete inventory was $0 and $36,239, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 there was no reserve established for slow moving inventory valuation.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements).

 

 

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the discounted expected future cash flows. If the future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2017 or for the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. There was no impairment recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2017 or for the year ended June 30, 2017

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2017 or for the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses). The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and (2) The Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

 

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds, sale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections in New Zealand, security alarm system installation and monitoring service in Canada, and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, trade discounts. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery has occurred, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, and collectability is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales or services, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management fees are accrued.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.

 

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations. 

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 were $0.87 million and $1.72 million, respectively, as compared to $1.05 million and $1.83 million for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2016.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Translation. The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the weighted average exchange rate throughout the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) can also occur if a transaction is settled in  a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Accumulated currency translation gains and (losses) are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Other comprehensive income, foreign currency translation (loss) gain was approximately ($46) thousand and $5 thousand for the three months ended  December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and approximately ($39) thousand and ($85) thousand for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Short-term Investment Valuation

 

Other comprehensive income (loss) attributed to changes in the valuation of short-term investments held for sale by Wainwright was approximately ($37) thousand and $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and approximately ($45) thousand and ($7) for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 17 of the Financial Statements).

 

Business Combinations

 

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, a determination was made that no adjustments were necessary.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements issued between October 13, 2017, the filing date of our most recent prior Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and has determined that no pronouncements issued are relevant to the Company, and/or have, or will have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosure requirements. 

 

NOTE 3.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic net (loss) income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

 

Diluted net income per share reflects the effects of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock.

 

 

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Wainwright, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that Wainwright manages. Wainwright classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance sheet date. Investments in which no controlling financial interest or significant influence exists are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity, except for unrealized losses determined to be other-than-temporary, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, investments were approximately $3.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Investments in which no controlling financial interest exists, but significant influence exists are recorded as per the equity method of investment accounting. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, there were no investments requiring the equity method investment accounting.

NOTE 13.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

Acquisition of the assets of The Original Sprout, LLC

 

Kahnalytics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Concierge Technologies domiciled in California, was founded during May 2015 for the purpose of carrying on the residual business from the disposal of Concierge Technologies' former subsidiary, Wireless Village dba/Janus Cam. As that business segment slowly wound down over the ensuing two years, management began a search for another business opportunity for Kahnalytics. Accordingly, on December 18, 2017, Kahnalytics acquired all of the assets of The Original Sprout, LLC, a California limited liability company. Simultaneous with the acquisition, Kahnalytics registered a "doing business as" (or "dba") name of “Original Sprout” and transitioned its business to the manufacture, warehousing and wholesale distribution of non-toxic, all-natural, hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout. The acquisition by Kahnalytics was financed through a non-interest bearing note from Concierge Technologies. The purchase price was approximately $3.5 million with payments to be made over the course of a twelve-month period and per the estimated allocation as depicted in the following table.

 

 

 

On the closing date of the transaction, December 18, 2017, Kahnalytics paid $982,172 in cash towards the purchase price and deposited an additional $1,250,000 in an attorney-held client trust account to be released to the sellers, subject to any downward purchase price adjustment, on May 18, 2018. The balance of the purchase price, $1,250,000, subject to downward adjustment for prior payments, is due by January 5, 2019 and is secured by a promissory note from Kahnalytics and a corporate guarantee from Concierge Technologies.

 

(1)	Values have been allocated to tangible assets and goodwill on a provisional basis while the Company completes its asset valuation and awaits the findings of an independent valuation of the intangible assets including the provisional goodwill amount of $2,856,993.

 

Wainwright Holdings, Inc.

 

On December 9, 2016, the Company closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and Wainwright and each of the shareholders of Wainwright common stock (the “Wainwright Sellers”), pursuant to which the Wainwright Sellers agreed to sell, and the Company agreed to purchase 1,741 shares of Wainwright common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Wainwright Common Stock”), which represents all of the issued and outstanding Wainwright Common Stock, in exchange for: (i) 27,293,330 shares (as adjusted approximately for the 1 for 30 reverse stock split effective on December 15, 2017) of Company Common Stock, and (ii) 311,804 (as adjusted approximately for the 1 for 30 reverse stock split effective on December 15, 2017) shares of Company Preferred Stock (which preferred shares are convertible into approximately 6,236,079 shares of Company Common Stock). Wainwright and the Company have a commonality of ownership and control as represented by the shareholdings, either directly or beneficially, of Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger as a group pursuant to the aforementioned Purchase Agreement and a voting agreement which gives them control of over 50% of Wainwright and over 50% of Concierge both before and after the business combination. Accordingly, the acquisition has been recorded as a transaction between entities under common control in the accompanying financial statements. Further, the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to include the carrying value of assets, liabilities, equity and operations of Wainwright as if the transaction had concluded on July 1, 2015. The Wainwright assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity were recorded at their historical values with no step-up or adjustment to fair market value.

 

 

NOTE 14.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On November 17, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board’) of the Company approved the implementation of a one-for-thirty (1:30) reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common and preferred stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).  The Reverse Stock Split became effective when trading opened on December 15, 2017. The Reverse Stock Split was previously approved by the Company’s shareholders pursuant to a majority written consent and by the Board pursuant to unanimous written consent on February 13, 2017. The approvals provided discretion to the Board to implement the Reverse Stock Split by the end of 2017.  The number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock did not change. All figures have been presented on the basis of reverse split where ever applicable for all the periods presented in these financial statements.

 

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Series B Voting, Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 20 shares of common stock and carries a vote of 20 shares of common stock in all matters brought before the shareholders for a vote. The Series B stock is eligible for conversion only after the elapse of 270 days from the date of issuance has transpired, and provided there are sufficient authorized, unissued, shares of common stock available to convert all shares of Series B Voting, Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Prior to the Reverse Stock Split, the Company did not have sufficient authorized, unissued, shares of common stock available to convert all shares of Series B Voting, Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Series B Voting, Convertible Preferred Stock was reclassified to the mezzanine section as a contingent liability on the Company’s prior Consolidated Balance Sheets with other equity accounts being adjusted to reflect the historical cost basis of Wainwright. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, sufficient shares were made available to allow for conversion of the Series B Voting, Convertible, Preferred Stock such that the shares have been reclassified to the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017.

 

NOTE 15.

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized. The Company continues to monitor the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance on income taxes under which the Company may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0.2 million, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur, related to uncertain tax provisions as a component of tax expense. There is no interest or penalties to be recognized for the six month periods ended December 31, 2017 or 2016.

 

The Company is required to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The Company recorded a tax provision of $1.1 million and $1.7 million from its operations for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the net charge related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") and the mix of non-deductible items.

 

On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted into law, which significantly changes existing U.S. tax law and includes numerous provisions that affect the Company, such as imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income, reducing the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, and adopting a territorial tax system. The TCJA requires a one-time transition tax on deferred foreign income not previously subject to U.S. income tax at a rate of 15.5% for foreign cash and certain other net current assets, and 8% on the remaining income. The TCJA also reduces the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. For fiscal year 2018, the blended U.S. federal statutory tax rate is 28%. This is the result of using the tax rate of 35% for the first and second quarter of fiscal year 2018 and the reduced tax rate of 21% for the third and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. The TCJA includes a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries and a base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) measure that taxes certain payments between a U.S. corporation and its subsidiaries. The GILTI and BEAT provisions of the TCJA will be effective beginning  July 1, 2018.

 

The TCJA is effective in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a charge of $0.05 million related to the TCJA, due to the impact of the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income of $1.0 million.

 

To calculate the transition tax, the Company estimated the deferred foreign income for fiscal year 2017 and the first and second quarter of fiscal year 2018 because these tax returns are not complete or due. The fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018 taxable income will be known once the respective tax returns are complete and filed.

 

In addition, the Company recorded a $0.5 million expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 from the impact of changes in the tax rate, primarily on deferred tax assets and liabilities, which was included in provision for income taxes on the consolidated income statements and deferred income taxes on the consolidated balance sheet. The remeasurement of the deferred taxes reflects the reduced rate that will apply when these deferred taxes are settled or realized in future periods.

 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal, various states, Canada and New Zealand tax jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s tax years 2013 through 2017 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities which is three and four years, respectively. The Company’s tax years from acquisition through 2017 remain open for examination by Canada and New Zealand authorities which is four years. As of December 31, 2017, there were no active taxing authority examinations.

NOTE 17.

SEGMENT REPORTING

 

With the acquisition of Wainwright Holdings, Gourmet Foods, Ltd., Brigadier, and the launch of the Original Sprout business unit of Kahnalytics, the Company has identified four segments for its products and services; U.S.A. investment fund management, U.S.A. beauty products, New Zealand food industry and Canada security alarm monitoring. Our reportable segments are business units located in different global regions. The Company’s operations in the U.S.A. include the manufacture and wholesale distribution of all-natural hair and skin care products by Original Sprout and the income derived from management of various investment funds by our subsidiary Wainwright. In New Zealand operations include the production, packaging and distribution on a commercial scale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections through our wholly owned subsidiary Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and in Canada we provide security alarm system installation and monitoring to residential and commercial customers sold through our wholly owned subsidiary Brigadier. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies due to their particular regional location. The Company accounts for intra-company sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third parties and eliminates them in the consolidation. Amounts are adjusted for currency translation as of the balance sheet date and presented in US dollars.
