MEDICINE MAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,2018
Organization and Nature of Operations:
Business Description – Business Activity: Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation incorporated on March 20, 2014. The Company is a cannabis consulting company providing services related to cost-efficient cannabis cultivation technologies focusing on quality as well as safety, retail operations related to the delivery of cannabis related products, and other related business lines as described in the Company’s operating strategic vision outlined below.
1. | Liquidity and Capital Resources: |
Cash Flows – During the quarters ending June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company primarily used revenues from its operation supplemented by cash to fund its operations.
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date. The Company had $849,223 and $748,715 classified as cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.
The Company has recently elected to accelerate its organic growth path through additional marketing, team development, synergistic acquisitions, and other corporate activities wherein it expects to generate negative cash flow and an additional demand for capital to fuel such growth as described in it subsequent events notes.
The Company is commencing legal action against one client for breach of contract, adding a significant value into its receivables for fees that had been accrued but not booked due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequent violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly (see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings).
2. | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates: |
Basis of Presentation: These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for annual financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
7 |
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payables and tenant deposits. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of our debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to us. Our derivative liability was adjusted to fair market value at the end of each reporting period, using Level 3 inputs.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Accounts receivable: The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable related to licensing and consulting revenues are recorded at the time the milestone result in the funds being due being achieved, services are delivered, and payment is reasonably assured. Licensing and consulting revenues are generally collected from 30 to 60 days after the invoice is sent. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,337,285 and $487,062, respectively. The company wrote off $0 of its accounts receivable in 2018. Due to the low volume of write offs, the Company uses the direct write off method versus having an allowance for uncollectible debts. The Company further notes a significant value increase in its receivables for fees that had been accrued but not booked due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequent violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly (see Item 1, Legal).
Short term note receivable: In July 2016, the Company executed a non-binding Term Sheet to acquire Capital G Ltd, an Ohio limited liability company and its three wholly owned subsidiary companies, Funk Sac LLC, Commodogy LLC, and OdorNo LLC. The agreement was subject to the Company’s due diligence as well as execution of definitive agreements. In January 2017, the parties agreed not to proceed with this transaction. As part of the term sheet the Company agreed to loan Capital G the principal balance of $250,000 pursuant to the terms of a convertible note which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum and which became due November 1, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, this note has not been repaid when it became due. The Company is currently in negotiations with Capital G about repayment terms. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has reserved 35% or $102,906 of this balance. The Company had $195,988 and $191,111 classified as short-term note receivable as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Other assets (current and non-current): Other assets at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 were $82,320 and $57,319, respectively including $67,820 in prepaid expenses and $14,500 in a security deposit.
Accounts payable: Accounts payable at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 were $19,733 and $278,428, respectively and were comprised of operating accounts payable for various professional services incurred during the ordinary course of business.
Accrued expenses and other liabilities: Accrued expenses and other liabilities at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 were $57,619 and $56,495, respectively. At June 30, 2018, this was comprised of $30,956 in accrued bonuses and $26,663 in deferred rent expense.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of cash and current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Available for sale securities are recorded at current market value as of the date of this report.
Revenue recognition and related allowances: Revenue from cultivation max, licensing and consulting services is recognized when the obligations to the client are fulfilled which is determined when milestones in the contract are achieved. Revenue from seminar fees is related to one-day seminars and is recognized as earned at the completion of the seminar. Revenue from product sales either being nutrients or book sales are recognized when the goods are transferred. The Company also recognizes expense reimbursement from clients as revenue for expenses incurred during certain jobs.
Costs of Goods and Services Sold – Costs of goods and services sold are comprised of related expenses incurred while supporting the implementation and sales of Company’s products and services.
8 |
General & Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expense are comprised of all expenses not linked to the production or advertising of the Company’s services.
Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $77,540 and $89,509 during the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Stock based compensation: The Company accounts for share-based payments pursuant to ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” and, accordingly, the Company records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock and restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the vesting period of the award or expensed immediately under ASC 718 and EITF 96-18 when stock or options are awarded for previous or current service without further recourse. The Company issued stock options to contractors and external companies that had been providing services to the Company upon their termination of services. Under ASC 718 and EITF 96-18 these options were recognized as expense in the period issued because they were given as a form of payment for services already rendered with no recourse.
Share based expense paid to through direct stock grants is expensed as occurred. Since the Company’s stock has become publicly traded, the value is determined based on the number of shares issued and the trading value of the stock on the date of the transaction. Prior to the Company’s stock being traded the Company used the most recent valuation. The Company recognized $0 in expenses for stock-based compensation to employees and consultants during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Income taxes: The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.
Management fee contracts: In February 2017, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Pono Publications Ltd. (“Pono”), as well as a Share Exchange Agreement with Success Nutrients, Inc. (“SN”), each a Colorado corporation, in order to facilitate the acquisition of both of these entities. The ratification of the acquisition of these companies requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s shareholders, which was approved at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting held on May 2017. The relevant agreements provide that the effective date for accounting purposes would be April 1, 2017. Success Nutrients became a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. and the business conducted by Pono was incorporated into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Medicine Man Consulting, Inc., which is also where the Company conducts its consulting service business.
In March 2017, the Company integrated Pono Publications and Success Nutrients into its operations including a lease for approximately 10,000 square feet of space located at 6660 East 47th Street, Denver, CO 80216. This integration also included four (4) full time team members as well as several independent contractors. From April 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 the Company has agreed to manage the acquirees through a management fee agreement whereby all cash collected was recognized as other income and all cash expenses were direct costs of the project. As of June 30, 2017, the management contract resulted in cash collections of approximately $100,000 and cash expenditures of approximately $170,000 resulting in a net loss of $70,257 which was presented on a net basis as a loss in the other income portion of the Company’s income statement. As of April 1, 2017, the Company’s consolidated financial statements included these two entities.

3. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: |
FASB ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” – In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption of this new standard, the Company believes that the timing of revenue recognition related to our consulting, licensing and product sales will remain consistent with our current practice. Because we do not anticipate a change in our pattern of revenue recognition, we anticipate that neither method will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to record right-to-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. The new guidance will classify leases as either finance or operating (similar to current standard’s “capital” or “operating” classification), with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805)” – In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-1. The new guidance that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
FASB ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)” – In August 2016, the FASB issued 2016-15. Stakeholders indicated that there is a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on our statement of cash flows.
FASB ASU 2016-11 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” – In May 2016, the FASB issued 2016-11, which clarifies guidance on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction. This conclusion impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option to adopt as early as December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing the impact of adoption of this ASU on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

6. | Intangible Asset: |
On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into a non-exclusive Technology License Agreement with Futurevision, Inc., f/k/a Medicine Man Production Corporation, a Colorado corporation, dba Medicine Man Denver (“Medicine Man Denver”), a company owned and controlled by affiliates of the Company, whereby Medicine Man Denver granted a license to use all of their proprietary processes they have developed, implemented and practiced at its cannabis facilities relating to the commercial growth, cultivation, marketing and distribution of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana pursuant to relevant state laws and the right to use and to license such information, including trade secrets, skills and experience (present and future). As payment for the license rights the Company issued Medicine Man Denver (or its designees) 5,331,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company accounted for this license in accordance with ASC 350-30-30 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other by recognizing the fair value of the amount paid by the company for the asset at the time of purchase. Since the Company has a limited operating history, management determined to use par value as the value recognized for the transaction. Since the term of the initial license agreement is ten (10) years, the cost of the asset will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement. In addition, each period the Company will evaluate the intangible asset for impairment.
During 2017, the Company obtained two intangible assets, Product Agreement & Registration and a Trade Secret. These two intangible assets were acquired due to the result of the acquisition of Success and Pono on September 30, 2017. Refer to the Note 9 for further explanation of the purchase price accounting. The Company’s procurement of product registration during the year was within five states and Canada. The Company’s product was registered in California, Oregon, Colorado, Michigan, Arizona, Washington and all of Canada. The registration allows the Company to sell their product within the confines of that region. The registration fees capitalized are the initial costs to obtain the license. The licenses have nominal annual renewal costs. These subscriptions are amortized over a 15-year period.
During 2017, the Company incurred an intangible asset due to the development of the products nutrient recipe. The nutrient recipe development was a one-time fee, paid to the Company’s developer. The intellectual property is amortized over a 15-year economic life of the asset. The economic life of the asset is shorter than the indefinite life considered the legal life of the assets so 15 years is deemed the economic life of the asset.

The Company’s product was registered in Florida, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada and Ohio. The registration allows the Company to sell their product within the confines of that region. The registration fees capitalized are the initial costs to obtain the license. The licenses have nominal annual renewal costs. These subscriptions are amortized over a 15-year period.

Upon issuance, each of the notes is immediately convertible at the noteholders election into the company’s common stock at $1.75 per share or 90% of the VWAP of the five days following the notice of conversion, whichever is lower. Since the conversion rate can be tied to an underlying item, convertible notes with warrants, are considered to be a derivative that is recorded as a liability at fair value and adjusted to fair value at the conclusion of each reporting period. The underlying assumptions used in the Black Scholes model to determine the fair value of the derivative liability were based on the individual date the notes were closed, volatility, the risk-free rate, the exercise price and the stock price at conversion.

On July 21, 2017, the Company issued 2,258,065 shares of its Common Stock for 100% ownership of Denver Consulting Group (“DCG”). The Company utilized purchase price accounting stating that net book value approximates fair market value of the assets acquired. The purchase price accounting resulted in $3,003,226 of Goodwill. The ASC at 350-20-35-3A directs that “An entity may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill”. The Company obtained an independent valuation of the DCG on September 27, 2017. The fair market value on September 27, 2017 of DCG was $3,650,000, thus creating a fair market value greater than the carrying value of Goodwill. The ASC at 350-20-35-3D directs that “If an entity determines that it is not more likely that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then Goodwill impairment is unnecessary.” As of December 31, 201, the Company determined that no impairment is necessary given the recent valuations and no change in qualitative factors.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s Goodwill has a balance of $9,304,306. This amount consisted of $3,003,226 from the DCG acquisition and $6,301,080 from the Pono and Success acquisition.
10. | Net Income (Loss) per Share: |

Diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company's quarterly earnings for the period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 basic and diluted earnings per share $.01 and ($.43), respectively.
11. | Inventory: |
As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had $67,567 and $106,091 of finished goods inventory, respectively. The Company only has finished goods within inventory because it does not produce any of its products. All inventory is produced by a third party.

The Company issued one round of warrants related to various equity transactions that was approved by the Board on June 3, 2017 and issued on June 19, 2017.

The Company accounts for its warrants issued in accordance with the US GAAP accounting guidance under ASC 480. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as described in the stock-based compensation section above, based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date of $1.50, the remaining contractual term of the warrant of 2.5 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.38% and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock of 126%. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate the warrants and the assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model are moderately judgmental.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 937,647 common stock purchase warrants under the PPM with an exercise price of $1.33 per share, expiring on March 17, 2019. As of June 30, 2018, none of the warrants were exercised.

Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry forwards. The Company had no tax provisions as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

17. | Subsequent Events: |
Canada House Wellness Group Opportunity Update: On or about July 17, 2018 the Company entered into a Master License Agreement with Canada House Wellness Group, a Canadian business trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (Symbol: CHV) for deployment of its Success Nutrients line as well as intellectual property in Canada. The initial payments for licensing totaled $4.65M (CAD) and is being paid to the Company in the form of cash ($1.15M) and Stock ($3.5M) in Canada House Wellness which will have a significant impact on the Company’s third quarter revenues (approximately $3.5M USD). The Company expects that his new partnership will generate significant revenues via fees related to its license agreement paid to the Company noting the license agreement’s initial duration is for 18 months with renewal rights.
While no assurances can be provided, the Company believes that the Canada House Wellness Group Team will be an excellent partner for deployment of its various goods and services as the Canadian Cannabis Marketplace evolves and likely experiences significant wholesale price pressures wherein the Company believes its efficient cultivation and operation methods will provide a distinct advantage to those operators this new venture services.
An example of this efficiency is clearly shown in the recent harvest yields of useable flower material of 150 plus grams per square foot related to one of the Company’s new Southern California Cultivation MAX clients. This level of performance is expected to provide the Company’s Client with five plus harvest cycles per year and represents a significant increase in normal productivity while generating high quality materials that are selling very well.
Acquisition Update: The Company has entered a binding term sheet for acquisition of a retail operator in Denver which it believes will provide its clients better access to both consumables as well as equipment on a competitive price basis. The Company expects its due diligence and integration planning to take six to eight weeks and once successfully completed, the acquisition will be consummated. This event is expected to take place during the 3rd quarter of operations of this year.
OTC QX Update: As already announced previously, the Company has initiated planning for application for QX status on the OTC Marketplace which it expects to complete by prior to the conclusion of its third quarter of operations of 2018.
Capital G Ltd Debt Update: The Company has recently entered negotiations with the Debtor to secure this obligation with additional collateral as well as undertaking consideration of an equity position in Capital G Ltd. as it recapitalized itself with a new investor group, receiving a $10,000 good faith payment at the end of the second quarter of FY 2018.
Client Default Update: The Company has recently entered into pursuit of one client for breach of contract, adding a significant value into its receivables for fees that had been accrued but not booked due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequently violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly. It has engaged legal counsel, to pursue this default issue and, while there are no assurances of a favorable outcome, management believes that a resolution in favor of the Company will be forthcoming. The Client continues to operate as of the date of this report.

Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.

Overview
We were incorporated on March 20, 2014, in the State of Nevada. On May 1, 2014, we entered into an exclusive Technology License Agreement with Medicine Man Denver, Inc., f/k/a Medicine Man Production Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“Medicine Man Denver”) whereby Medicine Man Denver granted us a license to use all of their proprietary processes they have developed, implemented and practiced at its cannabis facilities relating to the commercial growth, cultivation, marketing and distribution of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana pursuant to relevant state laws and the right to use and to license such information, including trade secrets, skills and experience (present and future) (the “Medicine Man Denver License Agreement”).
We commenced our business on May 1, 2014 and currently generate revenues derived from licensing agreements with cannabis related entities, as well as sponsoring seminars offered to the cannabis industry and other business endeavors related to our core competencies. As of the date of this report we have or have had 45 fee generating clients in 14 different states.
We are a cannabis consulting company providing services related to cost efficient cannabis cultivation technologies focusing on quality as well as safety, retail operations related to the delivery of cannabis related products, and other related business lines as described in our operating strategic vision.
As we evolve within the industry we expect to add additional new ‘plant touching’ services as well as work to secure ownership positions as we deem viable. These services will include active management of various Cannabis related operations and, as the Colorado political landscape evolves and allows for public company ownership of Cannabis related licenses, we expect to generate additional income from both new ‘plant touching’ services as well as consulting opportunities.
As announced in July of 2018, the Company is beginning to receive numerous inquiries related to master licensing of our products and intellectual property internationally, the first of which relates to Canada. This generated an initial licensing fee of approximately $3.5M USD and should generate ongoing fees once operational. While no specific assurances may be offered, we expect to continue to execute on such opportunities globally moving forward.
We have never been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding. Our executive offices are located at 4880 Havana Street, Suite 201 South, Denver, Colorado 80239, telephone (303) 371-0387. Our website address is www.medicinemantechnologies.com.

Net cash used from operating activities was $857,400 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, compared to cash used from operating activities of $347,617 for the similar period in 2017, an increase of $509,783. Most of this consumption is due to our evolving new service offerings as well as an increase in our receivables base due to the typical collection period of earnings related to Cultivation MAX services that requires a sales interval prior to payment of fees earned.

We are currently considering raising additional capital through the sale of our securities to support our growth beyond our existing organic means. Though not assured, it is expected that this additional cash infusion will meet our expansion and growth requirements until we will again start generating positive cash flow from operations. We view the profits generated in our 1st and second quarters of 2018 as an excellent start to our mission for overall profitability however, if we are unable to secure this financing, or generate profits from our operations in the future, or elect to expand our operations or otherwise require additional capital, we have no agreement in place with any investment banking firm, venture capital group or other financing source. there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise such capital equity on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we require additional capital and are unable to raise the same, it could have a material negative impact on our results of operations.
Inflation
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We resolved our dispute with Heavy 16 LLC over the use of the term FIRE in labeling as well as identification of one of its products.
The Company has recently entered into pursuit of one client for breach of contract, adding a significant value into its receivables for fees that had been accrued but not booked due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequently violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly. It has engaged lead counsel to pursue this default issue and, while there are no assurances of a favorable outcome, management believes that a resolution in favor of the Company will be forthcoming. The Client continues to operate as of the date of this report.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
