NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

December 31, 2017

 

 

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of NuZee, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements as reported in the annual report on Form 10-K have been omitted.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share equal net earnings or loss divided by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same because all potential common equivalent shares would be antidilutive.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has recurring losses, negative operating cash flows, an accumulated deficit and is dependent on its shareholders to provide additional funding for operating expenses. These items raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations, continued contributions from the Company's executive officers to finance its operations and the ability to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of the Company's products and business.

 

Major Customers

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, revenue was primarily from major customers disclosed below. Besides those revenues, there were $54,318 and $0 account receivable owed by customer PO and customer B as of December 31, 2017, and $122,090 and $37,858 account receivable owed by customer PO and K as of December 31, 2016.

 

 

 

 

Lease

 

The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a capital lease or an operating lease. If substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership have been transferred to the Company as lessee, the Company records the lease as a capital lease at its inception. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. If the lease agreement calls for a scheduled rent increase during the lease term, the Company recognizes the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

NuZee JAPAN Co., Ltd is the lessee of certain equipment under a capital lease extending through 2020. The asset and liability under the capital lease are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments, or the fair value of the asset. Leased equipment is depreciated over a 6-year life. The leased equipment is reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in property and equipment of $10,573 as of December 31, 2017. The capital lease liability is included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Future minimum lease payments under capital lease as of December 31, 2017 for each of the remaining years are as follows:

 

 

The Company leases office space under leases expiring on May 31, 2020. Rent expense included in general and administrative expense for three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $32,971 and $13,367 respectively.

The Company borrowed the sum of approximately $145,758 to be repaid on or before June 5, 2021 at an annual interest rate of 1.2%. The loan is unsecured and guaranteed by a director. The Company had $93,209 loan payable at December 31, 2017. On January 27, 2017, NuZee JAPAN Co., Ltd entered into a loan agreement with Nihon Seisaku Kouko.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and majority owned subsidiary which has a fiscal year end of January 31. All significant intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

The Company consolidates its subsidiary in accordance with ASC 810, and specifically ASC 810-10-15-8 which states, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, or over 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign subsidiary is measured using the foreign subsidiary's local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of such subsidiary has been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders' equity unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investment. Foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to other comprehensive loss amounted to $20,883 and $20,680 as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

 

 

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction gains included in the consolidated statements of operations totaled $0 and $1,076 for three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventory, consisting principally of raw materials, work in process and finished goods held for production and sale, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews inventory levels at least quarterly and records a valuation allowance when appropriate. At December 31, 2017 and September 30 2017, the carrying value of inventory of $299,861 and $266,620 respectively, reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is net of this adjustment.

 

 

Reclassifications have been made to conform with the current year presentation.

Plan of Operations

 

Short Term Goals (12 Months)

 

Over the next 3 months, the Company's growth plans include continuing efforts to:

 

◾   Leverage our network of potential (and current) customers that we have been introduced to during our extensive trade show campaign.

Participating in trade shows and conferences has been a huge success for the Company so far.  At each tradeshow there are between 2,000 and 10,000 attendees/exhibitors depending on its size – which gives the Company ample opportunity to meet, talk and most importantly educate the consumer on the benefits of our product as well as the proper usage and applications.  Another benefit of attending trade shows is that there are a lot of the same companies/buyers at each coffee event – The more these buyers see our face and the product, the more likely they are to trust and do business with us.  We are able to create relationships through the shows and networking events, many of these relationships have turned into business opportunities.

 

◾   Fulfill the current demand of our current customer base and complete transactions with customers that have expressed a strong interest in our company and brands.

 

◾   NuZee, Inc. is continuously working with our suppliers to lower costs by streamlining our supply chain and building our volumes to take advantage of bulk purchase savings. We are also working to make our co-packing operation more efficient by implementing software that will help us track, manage, & report our operations more effectively and efficiently.

 

◾   Continue to build our co-packing business and strengthen our operations by hiring an auditing firm to audit our facility to become SQF level 2 certified. This milestone will help to meet the requirements of national chains and brands that require this audit in order to conduct business with them.

 

◾   Increase awareness of our coffee cold brew extraction capabilities. This will include showcasing our cold brew technology at national tradeshows throughout the next 3 months as well as doing in person meetings with large retailers, customers, & coffee roasters.

 

◾   Work with our chosen brokers to build new relationships and strengthen existing relationships.

By working with a broker who has a strong connectivity to retailers, it ensures that a unique and appropriate strategy is developed and executed with speed and precision for our brand.  In addition, the broker will be able to guide us in which strategies and tactics will work at each specific retailer, this is vital to the growth of a brand. Additionally, a retailer's strategy and tactics can change over time and knowing this in real time is critical to success.

 

◾   Continue to increase the awareness for Coffee Blenders/NuZee brand and products. Through participating in all of the tradeshows in 2017, we were able to create relationships with journalists and magazine owners who will often post articles and product reviews in their publication for free. We will also start utilizing subscription box businesses to help spread awareness of the NuZee, Inc. brands as well as the single serve drip cup products.

 

Increase our sales team to meet the demand of our growing potential customers. Adding additional staffing will help us stay in closer contact with potential buyers and category managers. Each member added to our sales team will be versed on all NuZee, Inc. products and be trained on how to best sell our products.

 

We have entered into several different channels for distribution and are planning to expand into a few more channels in 2018.  Our current and forecasted company directed channels include;

 

Direct – coffeeblenders.com shopping via search and digital marketing

E-commerce affiliates (Amazon Exclusives, Groupon, Jet.com, Bulu box)

Select health and wellness retailers

Key mass/grocery retailers – Kroger, HEB, Safeway, Whole Foods, Lowes, Jewel-Osco, Rouses

Club/Other – Sam's Club

Outdoor retailer locations (such as REI/ Bass Pro Shops)

Co-Packing with other coffee roasters on our pour-over drip cup

 

If we are unable to receive funding our plans will be dramatically and negatively impacted such that we will prioritize go to market strategies based on reduced operations and available capital.

 

Long Term Goals (Five Years)

 

The Company believes that our limited resources may pose a challenge to our expansion goals and therefore anticipates that it may require additional capital in future years to fund expansion. There can be no assurance that our expansion strategy will be accretive to our earnings within a reasonable period of time. However, the Company believes that it can improve its operational efficiencies and reduce the need for new capital by carefully managing the business based on the following economic fundamentals within accretive margin and cost contribution modeling.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

 

Revenue. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, our realized revenue declined by 38% compared with the same time period in 2016. The contributing factors for this decline was the slowdown of sales through our KeHe distribution channel and preparation of moving our facilities.

 

Gross Profit. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, we earned a total gross profit of $117,869 from sales of our products.  The margin rate was 33% for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and 28% for the three months ended December 31, 2016. This increase is due to stabilization of cost in association with internal production and sale of higher margin product.

 

Expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, our Company's operating expenses totaled $760,653 which is a reflection of increase in rent due to the move and paying rent in two locations and an increase in company personnel.  There was a 50% increase over the same period of the prior year in travel primarily due to investment opportunities.

 

Net Loss.  For the three months ended December 31, 2017, we generated net losses of $643,556. This loss was attributed to operating expenses. Attributing factors were move preparations and increased personnel.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of $347,327 and $292,454 as of December 31, 2017; this decrease was primarily from the layout of funds for the new facility.

 

Accounts receivable decreased about 41% and inventories increased about 12% since September 30, 2017 mainly in preparation of the facilities move.

 

Our current ratio of 3.2 as of December 31, 2017 reflects a negligible change compared to 2.57 as of September 30, 2017.

 

Our auditor has indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our lack of significant revenues, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our current cash balance as of December 31, 2017, is not sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Therefore, the Company intends to engage in additional financing through the sale of equity securities.

 

Item 3.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4.       Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company's President, and principal financial officer (the "Certifying Officer"), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the officer concluded that, as of the date of the evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including the Certifying Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Certifying Officer has also indicated that there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the Company's last fiscal quarter, and no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

There have been no changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in our Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2018

 

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

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, we sold 1,298,254 shares of our common stock to several individual investors at a price of $0.51 per share for total proceeds of $509,110, which will be used for general business operations, and subscription receivable of $153,000, which were fully collected in January 2018.

 

All the investors were non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) who purchased in transactions outside of the United States.  In issuing shares to those investors, we relied on the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for in Regulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
