NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization and Nature of Business

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as “mPhase,” “XDSL”, “Company,” “us,” or “we.”

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of New Jersey in 1979 under the name Tecma Laboratory, Inc. and has subsequently operated under Tecma Laboratories, Inc., and Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc., until June 2, 1997 when the Company changed its name to mPhase Technologies, Inc.

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and control. New management of the Company is positioning the Company to be a technology leader in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning while enabling a more rapid commercial development of its patent portfolio and other intellectual property. The Company believes there are significant opportunities to embed artificial intelligence and machine learning into business operations, platform architectures, business services, and customer experiences, whereby its goal is to generate significant revenue from its artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

 

On February 15, 2019, the Company acquired Travel Buddhi, a software platform to enhance travel via ultra-customization tools that tailor a planned trip experience in ways not previously available.

 

On June 30, 2019, the Company acquired 99% of the outstanding common shares of Alpha Predictions LLP (“Alpha Predictions”). Alpha Predictions is an India-based technology company that has developed a suite of commercial data analysis products for use across multiple industries. This acquisition has been integrated into the Company’s international operations and as expected, has driven revenue growth and innovation.

 

On May 11, 2020, the Company acquired CloseComms, a patented, software application platform that can be integrated into a retail customer’s existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, giving the retailer important customer data and enabling AI-enhanced, targeted promotions to drive store traffic and sales.

 

During 2021, the Company announced that it would be adding EV+ (electric vehicle) charging network and consumer engagement platform as part of a major strategic initiative to monetize additional points of contact during consumer travel and travel planning. During the course of 2021, the Company actively planned pilot programs in EV+ (electric vehicle) charging network and, as part of a larger strategy to build an AI-driven consumer ecosystem. By late-2021, the Company transitioned into a “green” consumer company, serving as an important bridge between consumers, retailers, and service providers.

 

The Company can best be described as a technology company focused on consumer engagement using data analytics and artificial intelligence to create a monetizable link between consumers and retailers at opportunistic times and places. The Company is currently building a connected ecosystem that includes EV charging and software solutions that optimize consumer engagement within the framework of a SaaS/TaaS model. Branded under the mPower name, this ecosystem will empower the way people shop, dine, fuel and interact with the world to create a richer life experience. The mPower ecosystem is tailored to each individual’s tastes and needs, with particular emphasis on empowering tomorrow’s green consumer. The Company has data driven business units generating recurring revenue outside of its consumer ecosystem, in addition to legacy nanobattery technology and a related patent portfolio that are slated for future development. The Company plans to expand into other markets, both in the United States and globally, where it believes its technology and services will provide a distinct competitive advantage over its competition.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

 

Concurrently, the Company continues to pursue strategic alternatives to best monetize its patent portfolio, including partnering to exploit opportunities for its drug delivery system. The Company continues seeking to obtain government funding available under the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security including The Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (“DOTC”), Small Business Innovative Research (“SBIR”), Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (“CRADA”) and similar programs for targeted applications for its smart nano-battery applications.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 include the operations of mPhase and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, mPower Technologies, Inc., Medds, Inc., mPhase Technologies India Private Limited effective March 19, 2019, and Alpha Predictions LLP effective June 30, 2019. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced during December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. During March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During certain periods of the pandemic thus far, a number of U.S. states and various countries throughout the world had been under governmental orders requiring that all workers remain at home unless their work was critical, essential, or life-sustaining. As a result of these governmental orders, the Company temporarily closed its domestic and international offices and required all of its employees to work remotely. As economic activity has begun and continues recovering, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has been more reflective of greater economic and marketplace dynamics. Furthermore, in light of variant strains of the virus that have emerged, the COVID-19 pandemic could once again impact our operations and the operations of our customers and vendors as a result of quarantines, illnesses, and travel restrictions.

 

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and financial condition is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related extent of its severity, as well as its impact on the economic conditions, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. If the global response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic is unsuccessful, or if governmental decisions to ease pandemic related restrictions are ineffective, premature or counterproductive, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Further, additional significant outbreaks of contagious diseases, and other adverse public health developments, could have a material impact on our business operations and financial condition. Many of our operations are currently, and will likely remain in the near future, in developing countries which are susceptible to outbreaks of disease and may lack the resources to effectively contain such an outbreak quickly. Such outbreaks may impact our ability to operate by limiting access to qualified personnel, increasing costs associated with ensuring the safety and health of our personnel, restricting transportation of personnel, equipment, and supplies to and from our areas of operation and diverting the time, attention and resources of government agencies which are necessary to conduct our operations. In addition, any losses we experience as a result of such outbreaks of disease which impact sales or delay production may not be covered by our insurance policies.

 

The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. This determination may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from our estimates and judgments, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company has generated a net loss of $822,537 and has used cash in operating activities of $1,712,322 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital surplus of $11,396,572, and an accumulated deficit of $226,883,946. While these factors alone may raise doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management believes the Company’s present and expected cash flows will enable it to meet its obligations for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In the event managements’ plans do not materialize, in order to meet the Company’s working capital needs through the next twelve months and to fund the growth of its nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies, as well as our EV charging initiatives, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt. Although the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet its cash needs, the Company may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to it, if at all. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may also be impacted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which such ability is highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The functional currencies of our operations in India and the United Kingdom are the Indian Rupee (“INR”) and the British Pound (“GBP”), respectively. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The aggregate effect of foreign currency translation is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets. Our net investments in our Indian and United Kingdom operations are recorded at the historical rates and the resulting foreign currency translation adjustments, net of income taxes, are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity in accordance with ASC 220 – Comprehensive Income.

Average foreign currency translation exchange rate                    

 

Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, estimated useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets, accrued expenses, valuation of derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with four financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on such deposits, but may be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company monitors the credit quality of its customers as well as maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Risk

 

Agreements which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of revenue risk consist principally of one customer agreement. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, this one customer accounted for approximately 99% and 100% of our total revenue, respectively. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, this one customer accounted for approximately 99% and 100% of our total accounts receivable, respectively. During December 2021, the Company began invoicing its consumer engagement locations. Although immaterial for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, as these locations continue to grow, the aforementioned one customer will become less of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable, thus decreasing the Company’s revenue risk concentrations.

 

Supplier Risk

 

Agreements which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of supplier risk consist principally of one supplier agreement. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, this one supplier accounted for approximately 99% of our total cost of revenue and accounted for approximately 87% of our total accounts payable. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, this one supplier accounted for approximately 100% of our total cost of revenue and accounted for approximately 88% of our total accounts payable.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company’s cash balances did not exceeded the FDIC limit.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. Additionally, to date, the Company has entered into six separate tri-party settlement and offset agreements with its largest customer and largest vendor, whereby the Company’s largest customer has agreed to direct funds due the Company for certain outstanding invoices, to the Company’s largest vendor to satisfy payment on behalf of the Company for certain outstanding invoices. To date, the aggregate amount of the six tri-party settlement and offset agreements has totaled $48,750,000. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company determined there was no requirement for an allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests goodwill for impairment by first comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. On June 30, 2022, the Company will perform its annual evaluation of goodwill impairment to determine if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Patents and licenses are capitalized when the Company determines there will be a future benefit derived from such assets and are stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally five years. As of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the book value of patents and licenses of $214,383, has been fully amortized and no amortization expense was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software.” ASC 350-40 provides guidance for determining whether computer software is internal-use software, and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use and then subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company expenses all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of its development, and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or enhancements add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to improve and support products after they become available are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, currently three years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

 

At March 31, 2022, the book value of purchased and developed technology of $3,840,006, included three technology platforms, a machine learning platform and two artificial intelligence platforms. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred amortization expense of $670,766 and $677,256, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and current and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of short and long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value with the exception of the fair value of due to related parties as the fair value cannot be determined due to a lack of similar instruments available to the Company. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue is derived from the sale of artificial intelligence and machine learning focused technology products and related services. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers. In the event any discounts, sales incentives, or similar arrangements are agreed to with a customer, such amounts are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue (see Note 5).

 

Contract liabilities include amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized and are presented as contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 5).

 

A contract asset is recognized for incremental costs to obtain a customer contract that are recoverable, otherwise such incremental costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grants. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) issued in December 2019. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

ASC 740 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company’s tax returns for its June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019 tax years may be selected for examination by the taxing authorities as the statute of limitations remains open.

 

The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.

 

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of contingently issuable shares is not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares as we incurred a net loss for those periods. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, as we incurred net income for those periods, dilutive shares included 4,518,587 and 3,106,244 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock related to convertible promissory notes, assuming conversion of such convertible promissory notes occurred at January 1, 2021 and July 1, 2020, respectively, as the conversion price of the convertible promissory notes were less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, for dilutive EPS purposes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the assumed conversion of such convertible promissory notes at January 1, 2021 and July 1, 2020, increased the net income amount used in the dilutive EPS computation by $409,399 and $286,763, respectively, as a result of the net impact of interest that would not have been incurred during the period as well as original issue discounts, deferred financing costs, debt discounts, and derivative liability balances that would not have been required at march 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, there were 189,774 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for services provided to the Company, which were not included in computing dilutive EPS.

 

Modification/Extinguishment of Debt

 

In accordance with ASC 470, a modification or an exchange of debt instruments that adds or eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the date of the modification or exchange is considered a substantive change and is measured and accounted for as extinguishment of the original instrument along with the recognition of a gain or loss. Additionally, under ASC 470, a substantive modification of a debt instrument is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. A substantive modification is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original instrument along with the recognition of a gain or loss.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Effective July 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The standard amends and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, and also improves consistent application of and simplifies U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

During August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, to modify and simplify the application of U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The standard is effective for the Company as of July 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is reviewing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

During May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, to clarify and reduce diversity in accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The standard is effective for the Company as of July 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is reviewing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Subscription and Application Development and Implementation Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies a performance obligation to a customer. The Company primarily has one performance obligation, which includes the combined promise to develop, implement, and license customized software. Payment terms for the software include one-time application development and implementation fees, which are generally billed on a time-and-materials basis over the development and implementation period, plus fixed license subscription fees, which may either be billed in full upfront or in monthly installments over the license period, which is generally three to ten years. All of these fees are allocated to the single performance obligation of providing software to the customer.

NOTE 5: REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (continued)

 

The performance obligation is fully satisfied at the point in time when the customer has taken control of the completed software, which is when physical possession of the software has transferred to the customer, the customer is able to use and benefit from the software, and the contractual license period has begun. Since the Company has no further obligation to the customer once control of the software has transferred, the Company recognizes revenue in full for all of the development and implementation fees at that point in time. Subscription fees are also recognized when control of the software has transferred to the customer but only to the extent such fees are contractually guaranteed to the Company. Any future monthly subscription fees that the Company would not have a contractually guaranteed right to collect in the event of early termination of the contract are instead recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the license period.

 

Service and Support Revenue

 

Certain contracts also contain a second performance obligation for service and support. This performance obligation includes the promise to provide future updates, upgrades, and enhancements to the software over the license period, if and when they occur. Service and support fees are fixed as a percentage of total contract value and billed in monthly installments over the license period. The Company recognizes service and support fee revenue over time, on a straight-line basis over the license period, as the customer receives such services on a generally uniform basis throughout the license period.

 

Allocation of the Transaction Price

 

Prices allocated to each performance obligation generally correspond with the contractually stated prices, since they equal standalone selling price. In some cases, services may be discounted, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price based on relative standalone selling price. The Company estimates standalone selling price based on comparable industry practices and the costs and margins involved in providing services to its customers.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities include amounts billed to the customer in excess of revenue recognized and are presented as contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, contract liabilities totaled $366,749 and $350,689, respectively.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the contract liabilities from June 30, 2021 to March 31, 2022:

 

June 30, 2021  $350,689 
Contract liability deferral   448,389 
Amortization of contract liability to revenue   (432,329)
March 31, 2022  $366,749 

 

Practical Expedient

 

The Company has elected a practical expedient to omit certain disclosures about the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with terms of one year or less.

NOTE 8: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operation as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date then reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, as there were no derivative liability transactions during the nine months ended March 31, 2022:

Gain on change in fair value included in earnings   (3,267,323)

June 30, 2021  $- 

 

Total derivative liability at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 amounted to $0 for both periods.

 

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

 

At March 31, 2022, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with its Chief Executive Officer, Anshu Bhatnagar (“Holder”), whereby earned and issued warrants to purchase 37,390,452 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Cancelled Warrants”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) and Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) each between the Company and Holder and dated as of January 11, 2019 were forfeited and exchanged for (i) 37,390,452 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) and (ii) the cancellation and termination of the Transition Agreement and Warrant Agreement. The Cancelled Warrants had an exercise price of $0.50 per share and were not subject to expiration. Such Exchange Agreement is intended to make the Company’s capitalization more attractive to potential investors and to remove the uncertainty associated with any future grants of warrants under the Transition Agreement and Warrant Agreement, although there can be no assurance of any future investments on terms that are attractive to the Company, or at all. Immediately prior to the Company’s entry into the Exchange Agreement, it was determined that 5,650,708 additional warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s Common Stock were due to and issued to the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transition Agreement as the Transition Agreement required certain liabilities to be eliminated by the prior management team within six months of the Transition Agreement’s effective date of January 11, 2019. However, the Additional Warrants were immediately cancelled and terminated with the intention of mitigating potential liabilities arising from certain issuances of the Company’s Common Stock below the minimum price of $0.50 per share as stated within the Transition Agreement. The Shares to be issued and sold to the Holder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $153,301 of stock-based compensation expense related to the Exchange Agreement.

NOTE 9: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

 

Fair Value of Warrants

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a black-scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Because black-scholes option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and applicable employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following range of assumptions were utilized during the nine months ended March 31, 2022:

 

Expected volatility   618.01%
Weighted-average volatility   618.01%
Expected dividends   0%
Expected term (in years)   4.0 
Risk-free rate   0.68%

Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, potential impairment of intangible assets, accrued liabilities and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in Note 3 above and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021, are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of March 31, 2022, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

This increase was primarily due to a decline in net income during the current period as compared to the comparable prior year period, coupled with a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to increased cash payments in the current year as compared to higher non-cash tri-party offset agreements in the prior year, partially offset by a net increase in non-cash charges and decreases in accounts receivable due to increased cash receipts in the current year as compared to higher non-cash tri-party offset agreements in the prior year with our largest vendor and customer.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,357 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $3,064 used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was due to a decrease in capital expenditures.

This increase was primarily due to increased repayments of debt, coupled with decreased proceeds from issuances of promissory notes.

 

Going Concern

 

We generated a net loss of $822,537 and net income of $2,060,991 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We used cash in operating activities of $1,712,322 and generated cash in operating activities of $735,777 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, we had a working capital surplus of $11,396,572, and an accumulated deficit of $226,883,946. While these factors alone may raise doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management believes the Company’s present and expected cash flows will enable it to meet its obligations for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In the event managements’ plans do not materialize, in order to meet the Company’s working capital needs through the next twelve months and to fund the growth of its nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies, as well as our EV charging initiatives, we may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt. Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all. Our ability to raise additional capital may also be impacted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which such ability is highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced during December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. During March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During certain periods of the pandemic thus far, a number of U.S. states and various countries throughout the world had been under governmental orders requiring that all workers remain at home unless their work was critical, essential, or life-sustaining. As a result of these governmental orders, we temporarily closed our domestic and international offices and required all of our employees to work remotely. As economic activity has begun and continues recovering, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has been more reflective of greater economic and marketplace dynamics. Furthermore, in light of variant strains of the virus that have emerged, the COVID-19 pandemic could once again impact our operations and the operations of our customers and vendors as a result of quarantines, illnesses, and travel restrictions.

 

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on our employees, customers, and vendors, in addition to how quickly normal economic conditions and operations resume and whether the pandemic impacts other risks disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021. Even after the pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred as a result of the pandemic. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time. We continue to actively monitor the pandemic and may determine to take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, vendors, and shareholders.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item. We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2022 to determine whether the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On March 4, 2022, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for Montgomery, Maryland by Martin Smiley, Karen Durando, Abraham Biderman, Eagle Strategic Advisers, LLC, Congregation Chazon Avrohom and Edward Suozzo against Mr. Bhatnagar and the Company, as nominal defendant. Mr. Bhatnagar and the Company dispute the allegations made in such complaint and are vigorously defending against such suit.

 

In April 2021, a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws was filed which names our Chief Executive Officer, Anshu Bhatnagar, our former Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Cutchens and Verus, as defendants. This class action complaint was filed on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Verus between June 17, 2019 and October 8, 2020. On November 9, 2021 this complaint was dismissed by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.

 

Effective December 10, 2018, the Company entered into a “Judgment Settlement Agreement” to satisfy in full the Forbearance Agreement with Fife that was previously in effect. As a result, under the Judgment Settlement Agreement, no shares of the Company’s Common Stock are issuable or eligible to be converted into. Under the terms of the Judgment Settlement Agreement, the Company was required to pay $15,000 per month from January 15, 2019 through and including February 15, 2020, with a final payment of $195,000 which was due and payable in March of 2020. The Company made all required payments with the exception of the final payment of $195,000 which was due and payable in March of 2020. On August 17, 2020, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Judgement Settlement Agreement, whereby the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”) to repay the amounts still outstanding under the Judgment Settlement Agreement. The Note matures on August 17, 2021, bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, requires certain monthly minimum cash payments as specified in the Note, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a conversion price as specified in the Note. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty. The Company satisfied the initial cash payment as specified in the Note. On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Judgement Settlement Agreement, whereby the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “New Note”) to replace the Note and repay the amounts still outstanding under the Judgment Settlement Agreement. The Note matures on April 13, 2022, bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, requires certain monthly minimum payments in cash or the Company’s Common Stock as specified in the New Note, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a conversion price as specified in the New Note. The New Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty. On April 16, 2021, the Company paid $235,000 to satisfy, pay in full, and extinguish the New Note and the Judgement Settlement Agreement, which resulted in a gain on debt settlement of $549,026 during the year ended June 30, 2021.

 

Other than disclosed above, there are no other actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities that were not otherwise disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K, except as set forth below:

 

  1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued on October 18, 2021 to an accredited investor for the partial conversion of a promissory note; and

 

  1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued on December 31, 2021 to an accredited investor for the partial conversion of a promissory note.
     
  3,352,066 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer which extinguished the note payable attributable to the cancellation of common stock as further described in Note 9: Stockholders’ Equity.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

There were no defaults upon senior securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into a Software Product License Agreement with ETI, LLC (“ETI”), pursuant to which the Company would develop certain proprietary software comprised of a cloud-based learning management system, and provide ETI with use of the Company’s software as part of the products and services offered within the course of ETI’s business (the “Original Agreement”).

 

On May 6, 2022, to amend, modify and clarify certain terms and conditions set forth in the Original Agreement, restating and replacing the Original Agreement in its entirety, the Company and ETI entered into the Amended and Restated Software Product License Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, ETI shall continue to pay the Company a monthly fee of $2,500,000 and the Company will invoice ETI on a monthly basis for all license and services fees and related expenses, with amounts invoiced payable within 90 days. The software service provided by the Company to ETI is a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license. ETI shall have the right to access and use the Company’s software, solely as provided in the Agreement, for valid business purposes only and as part of the products and services provided by the business. The Agreement has a term of three years, and either party may terminate the Agreement at any time upon delivery of 30 calendar days’ advance written notice.

 

The above description contains only a brief description of the material terms of the Agreement, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text.
