NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
March 31, 2019
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF
ORGANIZATION
Organization and Business Description
Exactus,
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 18,
2008, as “Solid Solar Energy, Inc.” in the State of
Nevada as a for-profit Company. On May 16, 2013, the Company
filed a certificate of amendment to change its name to
“Spiral Energy Tech., Inc.”. On February 29,
2016, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Exactus BioSolutions, Inc. (“Exactus
BioSolutions”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated
February 29, 2016, with Exactus BioSolutions (the “Share
Exchange”). The Company issued 30 million shares of
-designated Series B-1 Preferred Stock to the shareholders of
Exactus BioSolutions in the Share Exchange, representing
approximately 87% of voting control of the Company upon
consummation of the Share Exchange. As a result of the Share
Exchange, Exactus BioSolutions became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Exactus, Inc. Effective March 22, 2016, the Company changed its
corporate name to “Exactus, Inc.” via a merger with its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Exactus Acquisition
Corp. Following the Share Exchange, the Company became a
life science company that planned to develop and commercialize
Point-of-Care (“POC”) diagnostics for measuring
proteolytic enzymes in the blood based on a proprietary detection
platform. The Company is no longer pursuing this business while it
seeks a buyer to purchase the rights to any technology developed by
the Company for the POC business.
In
December 2018, the Company expanded its focus to pursue
opportunities in Cannabidiol (“CBD”). This decision was
based in part on the passing of The Hemp Farming Act of 2018. The
Act was signed into law during December 2018 and removes hemp
(cannabis with less than 0.3% THC) from the Schedule I controlled
substances list. Following passage, CBD derived from industrial
hemp became legal in the US under federal law and in all 50 states,
opening the door to develop and sell hemp-based CBD products
nationwide. The Company’s goal is to rapidly establish one or
more principal sources of supply and to develop wholesale and
retail sales channels for CBD end-products to be sold to humans and
for animal health, such as nutraceuticals, supplements and pet and
farm products. The Company intends to follow regulatorily compliant
pathways by adopting practices established by the FDA for
CBD.
On
January 11, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio
of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) including shares
issuable upon conversion of the Company’s outstanding
convertible securities. All share and per share values of the
Company’s common stock for all periods presented in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
retroactively restated for the effect of the Reverse Stock
Split.
The
Company identified the rapidly growing hemp-based CBD market as a
valuable target for a new company focus. On January 8, 2019, the
Company entered into a Master Product Development and Supply
Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ceed2Med
LLC (“C2M”). In consideration for
the Development Agreement (see Note 9), C2M was issued 8,385,691
shares of our common stock on January 8, 2019. Additionally, the
Company granted immediately vested 10 year options to purchase
750,000 shares of common stock, with exercise price of $0.32 per
share to certain C2M founders. As a result, C2M became the
Company’s largest shareholder holding (inclusive of the
vested options held by its founders) approximately 51% of the
Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the
Development Agreement. Consequently, such transaction
resulted in a change of control whereby, C2M obtained majority
control through its common stock ownership (See Note 9). In
connection with this agreement, the Company received access to
expertise, resources, skills and experience suitable for production
of CBD rich ingredients including isolates, distillates, water
soluble, and proprietary formulations. Under the Agreement, the
Company has been allotted a minimum of 50 and up to 300 kilograms
per month, and up to 2,500 kilograms annually, of CBD rich
ingredients for resale. The Company expects to be able to offer
tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical solutions and animal health
products manufactured for the Company by C2M to satisfy demand for
branded and white-label products that the Company intends to offer
to sell in the future. The Company expects to begin marketing
during the third quarter of 2019.
On March 11, 2019, with the assistance of C2M and assignment of
rights, the Company acquired a 50.1% limited liability membership
interest in Exactus One World, LLC (“EOW”), an Oregon
limited liability company formed on January 25, 2019, in order to
produce industrial hemp for its own use. Prior to the acquisition,
EOW had no operating activities. The Company acquired its 50.1%
limited liability membership interest pursuant to a Subscription
Agreement and a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (See Note
3). Following the events described above, the Company
entered into the business of production and selling of industrial
hemp.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
March 31, 2019
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The
Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include the financial statements of its 50.1%
subsidiary, EOW. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission for interim financial information, which
includes consolidated unaudited interim financial statements and
present the consolidated unaudited interim financial statements of
the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries as of March 31,
2019. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
to present fairly our financial position, results of operations,
stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows as of March 31,
2019 and 2018, and for the periods then ended, have been made.
Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2018 and footnotes thereto included
in the Company’s Report on Form 10K filed with the SEC on
March 29, 2019. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
Going concern
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented
on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The
going concern concept contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. No
adjustment has been made to the carrying amount and classification
of the Company’s assets and the carrying amount of its
liabilities based on the going concern uncertainty. As reflected in
the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements, the Company had a net loss attributable to Exactus Inc.
common shareholders of $2,278,713 and $1,073,846 for the three
months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The net
cash used in operating activities was $1,833,755 for the months
ended March 31, 2019. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated
deficit and working capital deficit of $12,816,605 and $297,562,
respectively, at March 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of
this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company
will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow
positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The
Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or
equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although
the Company has historically raised capital from sales of common
shares and from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, there
is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the
Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional
lending in the near future, management expects that the Company
will need to curtail its operations. These unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Over
the last several months the Company and its advisors have been
evaluating numerous opportunities and relationships to increase
shareholder value. The Company expects to realize revenue through
our efforts, if successful, to sell wholesale and retail finished
products to third parties. However, as the Company is in a start-up
phase, in a new business venture, in a rapidly evolving industry,
many of our costs and challenges are new and unknown. In order to
fund the Company’s activities, the Company will need to raise
additional capital either through the issuance of equity and/or the
issuance of debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the
Company received proceeds from the sale of the Company’s
common stock of approximately $3.3 million.
Use of
Estimates
The
Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP which requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In
preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and
revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual results may
differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates
made by management include, but are not limited to the fair value
of derivative liabilities, useful life of property and equipment,
fair value of right of use assets, assumptions used in assessing
impairment of long-term, contingent liabilities, and fair value of
non-cash equity transactions.

EXACTUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
March 31, 2019
Fair Value Measurements
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value
as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure of fair
value measurements. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier value hierarchy
that distinguishes among the following:
●
Level
1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has
the ability to access.
●
Level
2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and
models for which all significant inputs are observable, either
directly or indirectly.
●
Level
3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and
significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The
Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a
recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis are as follows at March 31, 2019 and December 31,
2018:

As of
March 31, 2019, the Company has no assets that are re-measured at
fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
carrying value of those investments approximates their fair market
value due to their short maturity and liquidity. Cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand and amounts on deposit with
financial institutions, which amounts may at times exceed federally
insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on such accounts
and we do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit
risk. The
Company had $922,915 and $0 cash balances in excess of FDIC insured
limits at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018,
respectively. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,172,915 and
$1,960 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018,
respectively.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets of $58,580 and $12,330 at March
31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, consist primarily of
costs paid for future services which will occur within a year.
Prepaid expenses may include prepayments in cash for an operating
lease, consulting, and insurance fees which are being amortized
over the terms of their respective agreements.
Inventory
The
Company values inventory, consisting of raw materials, at the lower
of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in
and first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company reduces
inventory for the diminution of value, resulting from product
obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal
to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its
estimated net realizable value. Factors utilized in the
determination of the estimated net realizable value include (i)
estimates of future demand, and (ii) competitive pricing pressures.
The Company did not record any allowance related to the inventory
as of March 31, 2019. The inventory is primarily composed of raw
materials which consisted of hemp seeds and fertilizers amounting
to $422,819 as of March 31, 2019.

Advances to suppliers
Advances
to a supplier represents the cash paid in advance for the purchase
of inventory. The advances to a supplier are interest free and
unsecured. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, advances to
the Company’s major supplier, C2M, who is also a related
party, amounted to $1,017,225 and $0, respectively (see Note 9).
Upon shipment of the purchased inventory, the Company reclassifies
or records such advances to the supplier into
inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
of 3 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as
incurred; major replacements and improvements are
capitalized. When assets are retired, or disposed of, the cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gains
or losses are included in the consolidated statement of
operations.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In
accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully
recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an
impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash
flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of
impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s
estimated fair value and its book value.
Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own
Equity
In
accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” the
embedded conversion features in the convertible notes (see Note 7)
are not considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock. As a
result, these are required to be accounted for as derivative
financial liabilities and have been recognized as liabilities on
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the
derivative financial liabilities are determined using a binomial
model with Monte Carlo simulation and is affected by changes in
inputs to that model including the Company’s stock price,
expected stock price volatility, the expected term, and the
risk-free interest rate. The derivative financial liabilities are
subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any
changes in fair value is recognized as a component in other income
(expenses).
Revenue Recognition
On
January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the Accounting Standard
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 and the related
amendments Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires
revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of
goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes
revenue by applying the following steps:
Step 1:
Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2:
Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3:
Determine the transaction price.
Step 4:
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in
the contract.
Step 5:
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance
obligation.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the
point in time when products are shipped or delivered to the
customer, which is when the customer has title and the significant
risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s
contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of
product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration
for sales of product.

Research and Development Expenses
The
Company follow ASC 730-10, “Research and Development,” and
expenses research and development costs when
incurred. Accordingly, third-party research and
development costs, including designing, prototyping and testing of
product, are expensed when the contracted work has been performed
or milestone results have been achieved. Indirect costs are
allocated based on percentage usage related to the research and
development. Research and development costs of
$15,000 and $75,000 were incurred for the three months ended March
31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in operating
expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the
Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in
the financial statements of the cost of employee and director
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
over the period the employee or director is required to perform the
services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting
period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee
and director services received in exchange for an award based on
the grant-date fair value of the award.
Through
March 31, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to
Non-Employees, all share-based payments to non-employees, including
grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated
financial statements as compensation expense over the service
period of the consulting arrangement or until performance
conditions are expected to be met. Using a Black Scholes valuation
model, the Company periodically reassessed the fair value of
non-employee options until service conditions are met, which
generally aligns with the vesting period of the options, and the
Company adjusts the expense recognized in the consolidated
financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment
Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for
nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope
of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include
share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services
from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may
not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in
ASC 606. The Company adoption did not have any material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.
The
expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until
the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation
expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense
based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The
awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or
the total compensation is recalculated, based on the then current
fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.
Related Parties
We
follow ASC 850, “Related Party
Disclosures,” for the identification of related
parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Earnings per Share
We
compute basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance
with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur
if preferred stock converted to common stock and warrants are

Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC
740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC
740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and
liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset
and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided
to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes
it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be
realized.
The
Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting
for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed,
there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the
amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In
accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax
position is recognized in the financial statements in the period
during which, based on all available evidence, management believes
it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon
examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation
processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated
with other positions.
Tax
positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold
are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than
50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the
applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated
with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as
described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain
tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any
associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the
taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax
positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon
examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for
uncertain tax benefits.
The
Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of
Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should
determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the
purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and
provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the
completion and examination by a taxing authority without being
legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively
settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit,
even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to
be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and
the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and
state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination
by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years
after they are filed.
Non-controlling interests in consolidated financial
statements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65,
“Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51” (“SFAS No. 160”). This ASC clarifies that a
non-controlling (minority) interest in subsidiaries is an ownership
interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the
consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated
net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent
and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the
consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the
parent and to the non-controlling interest. In accordance with ASC
810-10-45-21, those losses attributable to the parent and the
non-controlling interest in subsidiaries may exceed their interests
in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses
attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall
be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results
in a deficit non-controlling interest balance. On March 11, 2019, the
Company acquired a 50.1% limited liability membership interest in
EOW, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement and a Membership Interest
Purchase Agreement (see Note 3).
Leases
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated
guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease
liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated
guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease
components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue
guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

EXACTUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
March 31, 2019
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the
package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the
effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the
following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain
leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For
contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the
inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract
is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based
on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct
identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially
all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the
period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the
asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract
to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to
determine the lease payments.
Operating
lease ROU assets represents
the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and
operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present
value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at
commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate,
the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the
information available at the adoption date in determining the
present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease
payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
and is included in general and administrative expenses in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On June
20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the
accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for
goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such
payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for
share-based payments granted to employees. Currently, share-based
payment arrangements to nonemployees are accounted for under ASC
718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and
services are accounted for under ASC 505-50. Before the amendment,
the major difference for the Company (but not limited to) was the
determination of measurement date which generally is the date on
which the measurement of equity classified share-based payments
becomes fixed. Equity classified share-based payments for employees
was fixed at the time of grant and equity-classified nonemployee
share-based payment awards are no longer measured at the earlier of
the date which a commitment for performance by the counterparty is
reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance
is complete. They are now measured at the grant date of the award
which is the same as share-based payments for employees. The
Company adopted the requirements of the new rule in the first
quarter of 2019.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04,
“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for
Goodwill Impairment” (ASU 2017-04). The standard simplifies
the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from
the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments of ASU 2017-04,
an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An
entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which
the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value,
but the loss cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated
to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the calendar
year ending December 31, 2020. The amendments require a prospective
approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted for interim or
annual goodwill impairment tests. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this standard.
In July
2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, which amends the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification. Part I of ASU No.
2017-11, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Down Round Features, changes the classification analysis of certain
equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with
down round features. The guidance is effective for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods
within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company
adopted ASU 2017-11 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this
guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements.
We have
reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and
interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the
periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully
considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally
accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or
modified principles will have a material impact on the
Company’s reported financial position or operations in the
near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the
formal review of the Company’s financial
management.

shares of common stock to be issued on June 14,
2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
the Company issued 937,500 shares of its common stock valued at
$990,000, or $1.056 per share, the fair value of the
Company’s common stock based on the quoted trading price on
the date of the Purchase Agreement. No goodwill was recorded since
the Purchase Agreement was accounted for as an asset
purchase.
The consideration shall be paid to the sellers as
follows:

the operations of EOW and the related agreements to determine if
the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. Based on this
analysis, it was determined that the Company acquired assets,
primarily consisting of the value of two farm leases for approximately 200
acres of farm land in southwest Oregon for growing and processing
industrial hemp, with lease terms of one year, and a license to
operate such farms. The leases are renewable on a year-to-year
basis.

In
connection with the issuance of notes during the three months ended
March 31, 2019, on the initial measurement date of the notes, the
fair values of the embedded conversion option of $568,000 was
recorded as derivative liabilities of which $361,090 was charged to
current period operations as initial derivative expense and
$206,910 was recorded as a debt discount which was amortized into
interest expense over the term of the note. The Company recognized
gain on extinguishment of debt due to repayment and conversions of
notes into shares of common and preferred stock of $3,007,629 and
change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $896,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company determined
that the conversion options embedded in the Notes require liability
presentation at fair value. Each of these instruments provide the
holder with the right to convert into common stock at a fixed
discount market, with certain notes subject to a cap on the
conversion price. These clauses cause uncertainty as to the number
of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and
accordingly require liability presentation on the balance sheet in
accordance with US GAAP. For the three months ended March 31, 2019
and 2018, the Company measured the fair value of the embedded
derivatives using a binomial model and Monte Carlo simulations, and

Common stock issued for Development Agreement
In consideration for the Development Agreement (see Note 9), C2M
was issued 8,385,691 shares of our common stock on January 8, 2019.
Additionally, the Company granted immediately vested 10 year
options to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock, with exercise
price of $0.32 per share to certain C2M founders. As a result, C2M
became the Company’s largest shareholder holding (inclusive
of the vested options held by its founders) approximately 51% of
the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the
Development Agreement. Consequently, such transaction
resulted in a change of control whereby, C2M obtained majority
control through its common stock ownership (See Note 9). Therefore,
the Company accounted for the 8,385,691 shares of common stock
under ASC 845-10-S99 “Transfer of Nonmonetary Assets by
Promoters or Shareholders” whereby the transfer of
nonmonetary assets to a company by its promoters or shareholders in
exchange for stock prior to or at the time of the company's initial
public offering normally should be recorded at the transferors'
historical cost basis determined under GAAP. The Company determined
that the value of the Development Agreement is $0 and recording it
in a step up basis would not be appropriate since C2M is considered
a promoter, majority shareholder and also a related party having an
ownership interest of 51% in the Company on the execution date
of the Development Agreement. Accordingly, the Company
recorded the issuance of 8,385,691 shares of common stock at par
value. The 750,000 options were valued on the grant date at
approximately $0.13 per option for a total of $96,000 using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
stock price of $0.13 per share (based on the quoted trading price
on the dates of grants), volatility of 296%, expected term of 10
year, and a risk free interest rate of 2.74%. During the three
months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded stock based
compensation of $96,000.
Common stock issued for membership interest in
subsidiary
On
March 11, 2019, with the assistance of
C2M and assignment of rights, under the term of the
Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired additional 20.1% from
existing members in consideration for payment of 937,500 shares of
common stock (see Note 3). The 937,500 shares of
common stock were valued at the fair value of $1.056 per common
share or $990,000 based on the quoted trading price on the date of
grant.
Common stock issued for settlement of debt
During
the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 250,000
shares of common stock to note holders upon the conversion of
$4,000 of accrued interest. The fair value of shares on conversion
was $196,000 having a derivative value on date of conversion of
$18,000 and the balance of $178,000 was recorded as loss on
settlement of debt. Additionally, in March 2019, the Company issued
an aggregate of 203,080 shares of common stock to a noteholder upon
the conversion of $27,000 of principal amount, accrued interest of
$3,267 and $10,349 of accrued expenses.

Common Stock Options
Stock Option Plan
In
September 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018
Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan
provides for the issuance of incentive awards in the form of
non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock unit awards.
The awards may be granted by the Company’s Board of Directors
to its employees, directors and officers and to consultants,
agents, advisors and independent contractors who provide services
to the Company or to a subsidiary of the Company. The exercise
price for stock options must not be less than the fair market value
of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The incentive awards
shall either be fully vested and exercisable from the date of grant
or shall vest and become exercisable in such installments as the
Board or Compensation Committee may specify. Stock options expire
no later than ten years from the date of grant. The aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to
the Plan is 9,500,000. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
In the
ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements
with third parties that include indemnification provisions which,
in its judgment, are normal and customary for companies in the
Company’s industry sector. These agreements are typically
with business partners, clinical sites, and suppliers. Pursuant to
these agreements, the Company generally agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, and reimburse indemnified parties for losses suffered or
incurred by the indemnified parties with respect to the
Company’s product candidates, use of such product candidates,
or other actions taken or omitted by us. The maximum potential
amount of future payments the Company could be required to make
under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company
has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims
related to these indemnification provisions. As a result, the
estimated fair value of liabilities relating to these provisions is
minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for
these provisions as of March 31, 2019 and December 31,
2018.
In July 2018 we received notice of the expiration and termination
of a license agreement dated January 19, 2016 acquired through the
Share Exchange by our subsidiary Exactus BioSolutions, Inc that the
Company recognized as an intangible asset from Digital Diagnostics,
Inc. (“Digital Diagnostics”) related to our FibriLyzer
and MatriLyzer technologies. In addition, on December 14,
2018 we received a letter from KD Innovation, Ltd.
(“KDI”) and Dr. Krassen Dimitrov, our former director
seeking payment for alleged past due consulting fees from June 2017
through November 2018 pursuant to a Consulting Agreement dated
January 20, 2016. On January 23, 2019, Digital Diagnostics,
made a demand for compensation against the Company in connection
with an alleged breach of a License Agreement. Under the terms of
these agreements, the parties are required to arbitrate
claims. Although we dispute the material allegations made by
Digital Diagnostics and KDI, if such actions were successful
damages could be awarded against us.
On
December 14, 2018, the Company received a termination and demand
notice from KD Innovation, Ltd, an entity 100% owned by a former
Board member, in connection with a consulting agreement KDI entered
into with the Company’s subsidiary, Exactus Biosolutions,
Inc., on or about January 20, 2016. No lawsuit has been filed;
however, in the event a lawsuit is filed, the Company intends to
vigorously contest the matter.
Leases
On
March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a farm lease agreement for
a lease term of one year. The lease premise is located in Cave
Junction, Oregon and consist of approximately 100 acres. The lease
requires the Company to pay 5% of the net income realized by the
Company from the operation of the lease farm. The lease shall
continue in effect from year to year except for at least a 30 day
written notice of termination. The Company has not paid any lease
under this agreement for the three months ended March 31,
2019.
On
March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a farm lease agreement for
a lease term of one year. The lease premise is located in Glendale,
Oregon and consist of approximately 100 acres. The lease requires
the Company to pay $120,000 per year, whereby $50,000 was payable
upon execution and $70,000 shall be payable prior to planting for
agricultural use or related purposes. The lease shall continue in
effect from year to year except for at least a 30 day written
notice of termination. The Company has paid the initial payment of
$50,000 under this agreement and recognized lease expense of
$10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and recorded
$40,000 as prepaid expense to be amortized over the term of this
lease.

Master Product Development and Supply Agreement
On January 8, 2019 we entered into a Master Product Development and
Supply Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with
Ceed2Med, LLC (“C2M”). C2M has provided the Company
access to expertise, resources, skills and experience suitable for
producing products with active phyto-cannabinoid (CBD) rich
ingredients including isolates, distillates, water soluble, and
proprietary formulations. Under the Development Agreement, we have
been allotted a minimum of 50 and up to 300 kilograms per month,
and up to 2,500 kilograms annually, of active phyto-cannabinoid
(CBD) rich ingredients for resale. We expect to be able to offer
tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical solutions and animal health
products manufactured for us by C2M to satisfy demand for branded
and white-label products that we intend to offer to sell in the
future. The founders of C2M established their first CBD business in
2014. C2M will also be responsible for overseeing all farming and
manufacturing activities of the Company.
Whereas, in consideration for the Development Agreement, C2M was
issued 8,385,691 shares of our common stock on January 8, 2019.
Additionally, the Company granted immediately vested 10 year
options to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock to founders of
C2M, with exercise price of $0.32 per share (see Note 8). As a
result, C2M was our largest shareholder holding (inclusive of the
vested options held by its founders) approximately 51% of our
outstanding common stock on the date of the Development Agreement.
These options were granted to two owners and a co-founder of
C2M.
C2M will provide personnel necessary for our growth. Utilizing C2M
employees and facilities, the Company has been able to rapidly
access resources and opportunities in the hemp-derived CBD
industry. Emiliano Aloi of C2M became a member of our Advisory
Board in January 2019 and was appointed President of the Company on
March 11, 2019.
NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY
CONSIDERATIONS
Some of
the officers and directors of the Company are involved in other
business activities and may, in the future, become involved in
other business opportunities that become available. They may face a
conflict in selecting between the Company and other business
interests. We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of
such conflicts.
On
November 20, 2017, Dr. Dimitrov provided a notice dated November
21, 2017 to the Company stating that he was resigning from the
Board, effective immediately. Dr. Dimitrov indicated that his
resignation from the Board was based on the deteriorating
relationship between the Company and Digital Diagnostics over the
non-payment of fees owed by the Company pursuant to the licensing
agreement between the Company and Digital Diagnostics. Dr. Dimitrov
currently serves as the President of Digital Diagnostics, and the
Company has licensed the right to develop, produce and
commercialize certain diagnostic products, including the FibriLyzer
and MatriLyzer, utilizing certain intellectual property rights
owned or licensed by Digital Diagnostics. Dr. Dimitrov believes
that, in light of these concerns, his role as both a Director of
the Company and the President of Digital Diagnostics creates a
conflict of interest and has decided to focus his time and energy
on doing what is best for the shareholders of Digital Diagnostics.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company accrued $30,000
in licensing fees expenses to Digital Diagnostics. As of December
31, 2017, $126,032 was included in accounts payable. The
Company has also accrued interest at 3% over the prime rate, per
the Licensing Agreement, of $9,802 for the remaining balance due as
of December 31, 2017. The Company paid $126,032 and $75,000 during
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. In March 2019, the
Company received a demand notice from him however the Company
believes the chances of liability to him is remote. There was no
change during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
For the
years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, $300,000 was recognized in
Research and Development expenses for consulting provided by Dr.
Dimitrov. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, $575,000 and $275,000
was included in accounts payable, respectively. During the year
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, $0 and $125,000, respectively was
paid. There was no change during the three months ended March 31,
2019.
On June
28, 2017, the Company issued to two of the Company’s
executive officers a promissory note in the principal amount up to
$100,000, which amount may be drawn upon by the Company as bridge
financing for general working capital purposes. The promissory note
accrues interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and matures on the
earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of the promissory note,
and (ii) the closing the sale of the Company’s securities in
a single transaction or a series of related transactions from which
at least $500,000 of gross proceeds are raised (See Note
7).

General
On
February 29, 2016, the Company consummated a share exchange, which
resulted in a change in control of the Company. As part of this
transaction, the Company acquired Exactus BioSolutions and its
Licensing Agreement with Digital Diagnostics to develop, produce
and commercialize blood diagnostic products that utilize certain
intellectual property rights owned or licensed by Digital
Diagnostics. The Licensing Agreement provides for Exactus
BioSolutions and Digital Diagnostics to collaborate through the
various steps of the product and device development process,
including the development, regulatory approval and
commercialization stages.
Following
the Share Exchange, the Company became a life science company that
planned to develop and commercialize Point-of-Care
(“POC”) diagnostics for measuring proteolytic enzymes
in the blood based on a proprietary detection platform (the
“New Business”) through its subsidiary Exactus
Biosolutions. The primary product, the FibriLyzer, would employ a
disposable test “biosensor” strip combined with a
portable and easy to use hand held detection unit that provides a
result in less than 30 seconds. The initial markets for
the FibriLyzer are (i) the management of hyperfibrinolytic states
associated with surgery and trauma, (ii) obstetrics, (iii) acute
events such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, (iv)
pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis and (v) chronic
coronary disease management. Exactus Biosolutions planned to follow
up the FibriLyzer with similar technology, the MatriLyzer, to
detect collagenase levels in the blood for the detection of the
recurrence of cancer and intended to file to gain regulatory
approval to sell its products in the United States, Canada and
Europe prior to disputes with the licensor arising over compliance
with the license and consulting agreements, and difficulty to raise
capital on acceptable terms arose in order to pursue the
venture.
In
December 2018, the Company expanded its focus to pursue
opportunities in Cannabidiol (“CBD”). This decision was
based in part on the passing of The Hemp Farming Act of 2018. The
Act was signed into law during December 2018 and removes hemp
(cannabis with less than 0.3% THC) from the Schedule I controlled
substances list. Following passage, CBD derived from industrial
hemp became legal in the US under federal law and in all 50 states,
opening the door to develop and sell hemp-based CBD products
nationwide. The Company’s goal is to rapidly establish one or
more principal sources of supply and to develop wholesale and
retail sales channels for CBD end-products to be sold to humans and
for animal health, such as nutraceuticals, supplements and pet and
farm products. The Company intends to follow regulatorily compliant
pathways by adopting practices established by the FDA for
CBD.
On January 8, 2019 we entered into a Master Product Development and
Supply Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with
Ceed2Med, LLC (“C2M”). C2M has provided the Company
access to expertise, resources, skills and experience suitable for
producing products with active phyto-cannabinoid (CBD) rich
ingredients including isolates, distillates, water soluble, and
proprietary formulations. Under the Development Agreement, we have
been allotted a minimum of 50 and up to 300 kilograms per month,
and up to 2,500 kilograms annually, of active phyto-cannabinoid
(CBD) rich ingredients for resale. We expect to be able to offer
tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical solutions and animal health
products manufactured for us by C2M to satisfy demand for branded
and white-label products that we intend to offer to sell in the
future. The founders of C2M established their first CBD business in
2014. C2M will also be responsible for overseeing all farming and
manufacturing activities of the Company.
Whereas, in consideration for the Development Agreement, C2M was
issued 8,385,691 shares of our common stock on January 8, 2019.
Additionally, the Company granted immediately vested 10 year
options to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock to founders of
C2M, with exercise price of $0.32 per share. As a result, C2M was
our largest shareholder holding (inclusive of the vested options
held by its founders) approximately 51% of our outstanding common
stock on the date of the Development Agreement. These options were
granted to two owners and a co-founder of C2M. C2M will provide
personnel necessary for our growth. Utilizing C2M employees and
facilities, the Company has been able to rapidly access resources
and opportunities in the hemp-derived CBD industry. Emiliano Aloi
of C2M became a member of our Advisory Board in January 2019 and
was appointed President of the Company on March 11,
2019.
On March 11, 2019, with the assistance of C2M and assignment of
rights, we acquired a 50.1% limited liability membership interest
in Exactus One World, LLC, (“EOW”) an Oregon limited
liability company, newly formed on January 25, 2019, in order to
produce industrial hemp for our own use. EOW has leases starting on
March 1, 2019 for approximately 200 acres of farm land in southwest
Oregon for growing and processing industrial hemp, with a lease
term of one year. The leases are renewable on a year-to-year basis.
We acquired the 50.1% limited liability membership interest
pursuant to a subscription agreement (the “Subscription
Agreement”) and a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”). EOW will farm and process
industrial hemp to be manufactured into cannabidiol (CBD) and
related products. EOW will be responsible for the
Company’s initial efforts to pursue agricultural development,
including farm soil preparation, planting, harvesting,
transportation and drying. We will be responsible for funding
and the minority owners will be responsible for management,
servicing and operating the farm properties.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
Net Revenues The Company is principally engaged in the
business production and selling of products made from industrial
hemp. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we
generated minimal revenues of $15,980 and $0, respectively, from
the sale of CBD products.
Cost of Sales The primary components of cost of sales
include the cost of the CBD product and shipping fees. For the
three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s
cost of sales amounted to $12,600 and $0, respectively which represents
purchase of CBD products from C2M. C2M is a majority stockholder of
the Company.
Operating Expenses
For the
three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $2,599,234 in
operating expenses as compared to $1,382,695 for the three months
ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $1,216,539 or 88%. The
increase in operating expenses consisted of the
following:
General and administrative expenses decreased by $492,051,
or 41%, from $1,196,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2018
to $704,087 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily
due to decrease in contractual bonuses and stock options given to
management to retain executive staff.
Professional and consulting fees increased by $1,768,590, or
1,585%, from $111,557 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to
$1,880,147 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to
increased stock based consulting fees related with the grant of
stock options and warrants to consultants.
Research and development decreased by $60,000, or 80%, from
$75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $15,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2019, as the Company delays
projects until additional funds are raised.
Other Expenses, net
Derivative gain (loss) increased by $1,874,879, or 446%,
from $420,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to
$(1,454,729) for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to the
issuance of new convertible notes in 2019 and adjustments to fair
value.
Gain on stock settlement of debt increased by $3,007,629, or
100%, from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to
$3,007,619 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to the
conversion of notes and interest into common and preferred shares
during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Interest expense increased by $255,612, or 230%, from
$111,301 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $366,913 for
the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to the issuance of new
convertible notes in 2019, incurred penalty fees on convertible
notes and the amortization of discounts related to convertible
notes.
Net Loss
As a
result of the foregoing, we generated a net loss from operations of
$1,409,867 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to
a net operating loss of $1,073,846 for the three months ended March
31, 2018, as a result of the discussion above.
As a
result of the foregoing, we generated a net loss available to
stockholders of $2,278,713 or $(0.12) per common share –
basic and diluted, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as
compared to a net loss of $1,073,846 or $(0.24) per common share
– basic and diluted, for the three months ended March 31,
2019, as a result of the discussion above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since
our inception in 2008, we have generated losses from operations. As
of March 31, 2019, our accumulated deficit was
$12,816,605. As of March 31, 2019, we had $1,172,915 of
cash. These funds will not be sufficient to enable us to complete
the development of any potential products, including the FibriLyzer
and related technology and also the development of our business
production and selling of products made from industrial hemp.
Accordingly, we will need to obtain further funding through public
or private equity offerings, debt financing, collaboration
arrangements or other sources. The issuance of any additional
shares of common stock, preferred stock or convertible securities
could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. In addition,
adequate additional funding may not be available to us on
acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital, we
will be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and
development programs and may not be able to continue as a going
concern.
Net
cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March
31, 2019 was $1,833,755, due to our net loss of $1,409,867, offset
by non-cash charges related to convertible loan notes derivative
gain (loss) of $1,454,729, amortization of debt discounts of
$339,806, amortization of intangible assets of $52,688, and
stock-based compensation of $2,005,861 offset by $3,007,629 for a
debt settlement gain. Net changes in assets and liabilities totaled
of $1,269,344, which is primarily attributable to increases in
inventory of $422,819, advance to supplier- related party of
$1,017,225 and accounts payable of $233,560. Net cash used in
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was
$295,280. We recorded a net loss for the three month period of
$1,073,846. Increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses
increased cash by $882,456. Other items in uses of funds from
operations included non-cash charges of derivative gain,
amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, loss on debt
settlement in stock, and interest expense which collectively
totaled $67,548.
Net
cash used in investing activity for the three months ended March
31, 2019 was $328,500. We paid cash for the purchase of membership
interest in subsidiary for $300,000 pursuant to a Purchase
Agreement and purchase of equipment for $28,500.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2019 was $3,333,210, due to proceeds from sale of our
common stock of $3,309,653, net proceeds the issuance of notes
payable and convertible notes $221,129 offset by note repayments of
$197,572. Net cash provided by financing activities for
the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $173,000 due to proceeds
from our issuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock of $50,000,
the issuance of promissory notes, and convertible loan notes
$148,000 offset by convertible loan payments of
$25,000.
Going Concern
The
audit report prepared by our independent registered public
accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2018 includes an explanatory paragraph
expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. We have concluded that the circumstances described
above continue to raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern as of March 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
March 31, 2019, we had no material off-balance sheet
arrangements.
In the
normal course of business, we may be confronted with issues or
events that may result in a contingent liability. These generally
relate to lawsuits, claims or the actions of various regulatory
agencies. We consult with counsel and other appropriate experts to
assess the claim. If, in our opinion, we have incurred a probable
loss as set forth by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, an estimate is made of the loss and the
appropriate accounting entries are reflected in our financial
statements. After consultation with legal counsel, we do not
anticipate that liabilities arising out of currently pending or
threatened lawsuits and claims will have a material adverse effect
on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Critical Accounting Estimates and New Accounting
Pronouncements
Critical Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported
amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements.
Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if it
requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the
estimate was made, and changes in the estimate or different
estimates that could have been selected could have a material
impact on our results of operations or financial
condition.
Application of Significant Accounting Policies
Section
107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can
take advantage of the extended transition period provided in
Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or
revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth
company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards
until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended
transition period. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be
comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or
revised accounting standards.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04,
“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for
Goodwill Impairment” (ASU 2017-04). The standard simplifies
the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from
the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments of ASU 2017-04,
an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An
entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which
the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value,
but the loss cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated
to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the calendar
year ending December 31, 2020. The amendments require a prospective
approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted for interim or
annual goodwill impairment tests. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this standard.
In June
2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Financial Instruments-Credit
Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade
receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at
the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement
will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly-recognized
financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of
expected credit losses that have taken place during the period.
This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending
December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of
evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated
financial statements.
In July
2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, which amends the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification. Part I of ASU No.
2017-11, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Down Round Features, changes the classification analysis of certain
equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with
down round features. The guidance is effective for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods
within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The
adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have
reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and
interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the
periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully
considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally
accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or
modified principles will have a material impact on the
corporation’s reported financial position or operations in
the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the
formal review of our financial management and certain standards are
under consideration.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not
required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us
in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we
file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and financial
officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Our
Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”), the Company’s principal
executive and financial officers, have conducted an evaluation of
the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition,
the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints and that management is
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of
possible controls and procedures relative to their
costs.
Our CEO
and CFO believe that as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls
and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and
are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we
are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion was due to
the presence of the following material weaknesses in disclosure
controls and procedures due to our small size and limited
resources: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk
assessment; (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for
accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements
and application of both U.S. GAAP and SEC Guidelines; (iii)
inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems
including insufficient disaster recovery plans; and (iv) no written
whistleblower policy.
Our CEO
and CFO plan to review and implement appropriate disclosure
controls and procedures to remediate these material weaknesses,
including (i) appointing additional qualified personnel to address
inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management;
(ii) adopting sufficient written policies and procedures for
accounting and financial reporting and a whistle blower policy; and
(iii) implementing sufficient security and restricted access
measures regarding our computer systems and implement a disaster
recovery plan.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in the internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
None

Proceeds
