Pazoo, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
Note 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Financial Presentation 
 
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of Pazoo, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Pazoo” or the “Company”) reflect all normal recurring adjustments the nature of which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented.  Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Description of Business
 
We are a development stage health and wellness company. Presently, our business consists of pazoo.com, an online, content driven, ad supported health and wellness web site for people and their pets. Additionally, this site has e-commerce functionality which allows pazoo.com to be an online retailer of nutritional foods/supplements, wellness goods, and fitness apparel. Pazoo, Inc. does not have any brick and mortar establishments.
 
Further, we entered the pharmaceutical testing laboratory market with our acquisitions of MA & Associates, LLC which will operate pharmaceutical testing laboratories in Nevada, and Harris Lee Holdings, LLC which will operate pharmaceutical testing laboratories in other states.  These pharmaceutical testing laboratories focus on providing quality control services to the medical cannabis industry.  The mission is to protect the public health by providing infrastructure and analytical services to legally-authorized cannabis producers and distributors as well as to regulators.  States that have legalized cannabis are developing cannabis health and safety criteria that we will fulfill through our testing laboratories.  Lastly, our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary CK Distribution LLC, provides the marketing and sales agent for the distribution of non-controlled hemp products throughout the USA. Non-controlled hemp products are the items utilized by the industry that support grow facilities, infusion companies and dispensaries.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Harris Lee Holdings LLC, MA & Associates, LLC and CK Distribution, LLC each a Nevada limited liability company.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated as of September 30, 2015.
 
Fixed Asset
 
Fixed assets are presented at cost at the date of acquisition. Depreciation and amortization is calculated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, a portion of which is allocated to cost of sales. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Fixed assets consists of the following:
   
Estimated Useful
Life (in years)
   
September 30,
2015
   
December 31,
2014
 
Cost:

Accumulated depreciation and amortization
            (6,469        
Fixed Assets, Net
          $ 1,017,831     $ -  
 
Assets acquired under capital leases were approximately $615,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
 
 
 
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets as of September 30, 2015 consisted of a license agreement acquired for $307,500 from Steep Hill Labs for the right to take the Steep Hill software and methodology to states above and beyond Nevada, $100,000 from the MA license and $117,329 in in-process research & development.  The cost basis of the intangible asset will be amortized over the initial 9-year term of the license. Amortization expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2,525 and $8,630 respectively.  Amortization expense for the next five years is approximately $58,000 per year, and then approximately $226,200 thereafter.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company’s intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value.  If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized.  An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset.  The Steep Hill and MA license, along with the in-process research & development, were evaluated for impairment and no impairment loss was incurred as of September 30, 2015.
 
Note 2—GOING CONCERN
 
From inception of November 16, 2010 through September 30, 2015, the Company has incurred net losses of $9,840,414 and the Company has a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2015.  These factors, among others, raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 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.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately attain profitability.  Management believes that we can alleviate the facts and circumstances which indicate a going concern by expanding our services, expert advice and online products. We aim to become more than a web based company by providing information, services and products through direct response, retail, and advertising revenue, in addition to our website.  Furthermore, we look to expand our business and further eliminate the ongoing concern by establishing our medical marijuana testing labs in Denver, CO, Las Vegas, NV, and Portland, OR.

On or about July 29, 2015 the Company permitted Typenex to submit a new Notice of Exercise for 4,500,000 shares.  It is the Company’s position that Typenex is not entitled to any additional shares under the Warrant and will dispute any further attempt to exercise Warrants in the future.
 
Note 4—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
In July 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with an affiliate of Mr. Basloe. The agreement provides for consulting on marketing-related services for use in our business operations. The amounts paid under this agreement in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were $87,000 and $82,688, respectively.
 
In January 2015, we entered into a services agreement with a family member of Mr. Basloe. The agreement provided for consultation services related to the Colorado recreational and medical marijuana marketplace and onsite retail operations studies in Boulder, CO and Denver, CO. The consultant was granted 250,000 common shares under the agreement which vest after six months. The fair value of the award was determined to be $1,750, of which $1,750 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as stock-based compensation.

Note 5—EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS
 
MA & Associates, LLC
 
Equity method investees are all entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control. Significant influence is presumed with a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in equity method investees are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has control of MA & Associates, LLC., and is a now a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. See below.
 
On April 8, 2014 the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with MA & Associates, LLC (“MA”) under which the Company agreed to acquire a 40% equity interest in MA for two testing locations in exchange for a purchase price of $2,000,000 and 150,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. MA was formed to become a marijuana testing laboratory within the State of Nevada. In 2014 the Company paid an aggregate of $542,780 of the cash portion of the purchase price. This equity method investment was fully impaired during 2014. In 2015, the Company paid an additional $778,639 of the $2,000,000 cash portion of the purchase price and issued 100,000 of the 150,000. The $778,639 equity method investment was fully impaired in 2015. The fair value of the 100,000 Series C shares was determined to be $100,000 and it was recognized as compensation expense to the sellers of MA. In addition, there are 60,000 additional Series C shares to be issued for compensation upon achieving certain milestones in 2015 of which 30,000 were issued, valued and expensed at $30,000.
 
 

 
On June 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 60% interest in MA & Associates, LLC for 1,000,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. 500,000 of the shares were issued and valued at $500,000. The remaining 500,000 shares under the 60% agreement and the remaining 50,000 shares under the 40% agreement will be issued in the future after the testing laboratory is operational. The fair value of the additional 550,000 shares was determined to be $550,000 as of the date of this acquisition and this fair value, along with the remaining cash payments due under the 40% acquisition, were recognized as a contingent consideration liability of $1,228,581. In accounting for this step-acquisition, the Company estimated the fair value of the previous equity method investment to be $666,667 as of the date control was obtained. This resulted in a loss on the change in fair value of equity method investment of $61,914 as the carrying value of the equity method investment was $728,581.
 
ICPI, who is a related party, was entitled to 500,000 Series C shares as a commission for services related to the MA & Associates LLC., acquisition, of which 300,000 were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 valued and expensed at $300,000. The remaining 200,000 shares will be issued upon achieving certain milestones in 2015.
 
The aggregate purchase price for the business acquisition was approximately $1.7 million consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Series C valued at $1,000,000 and the fair value of the previously held equity method investment of $666,667. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated based on the estimated fair market values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of each acquisition.  As of the date of acquisition we felt that the entire acquisition cost should be impaired as MA & Associates, LLC had not yet begun its testing operations and it is uncertain when the testing operations would begin. The goodwill from the transaction was $1,128,442. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for this acquisition is as follows:

Harris Lee Holdings, LLC
 
At December 31, 2014, the Company owned 45% of Harris Lee Holdings, LLC (“Harris Lee”). During 2015, the company acquired the remaining 55% interest in Harris Lee in exchange for 150,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred stock to be issued based on a series of milestone events and 450,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.  Management deemed it had control of Harris Lee prior to the 2015 preferred issuance. As such, value was considered compensation and not a business combination.
 
The aggregate fair value of the 450,000 Series B and the 150,000 Series C shares was determined to be $219,450 and it was recognized as compensation expense to the sellers of Harris Lee. Harris Lee is now consolidated in the Company’s financial results.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, Harris Lee was not operating and its impact on the Company’s Statement of Operations was zero as it was determined to be nominal.

Note 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
 
The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
 
Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
Under ASC-815 the conversion options embedded in the notes payable described in Note 6 require liability classification because they do not contain an explicit limit to the number of shares that could be issued upon settlement.
 
As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
 
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.
 
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
 
 
 
 
 
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value at the period ending September 30, 2015.

Under the license agreement for the first two states (Oregon and Colorado), if certain gross revenue thresholds are met, the Company is obligated to pay an additional $250,000. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay certain royalties over the life of the license agreement to Steep Hill Labs, LLC, based on the greater of the number of tests ($5 dollars a test) or an escalating royalty rate (7% to 15%) of the initial purchase price.

Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including under “Risk Factors.” You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited financial statements for the periods specified and the related notes included herein. Further reference should be made to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains terminology referring to Pazoo, Inc., such as “us,” “our,” and “the Company.”
 
Management intends the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

Overview
Pazoo (“Pazoo”) was incorporated in Nevada on November 16, 2010 under the name “IUCSS, Inc.” A name change from IUCSS, Inc. to Pazoo occurred on May 9, 2011.  We are a health and wellness company. Presently, our primary business is Pazoo.com, an online, content driven, ad supported health and wellness web site for people and their pets. Additionally, this site has e-commerce functionality which allows Pazoo.com to be an online retailer of nutritional foods/supplements, wellness goods, and fitness apparel. Pazoo, Inc. does not have any brick and mortar establishments. At present our only revenue source is www.pazoo.com which generates product sales and online advertising revenue. As of September 30, 2015, we had total assets of $2,826,693 and plan to make additional investments in online content.

Pazoo, Inc., is a company focused on health, wellness and safety. Our focus is to provide best-in-class laboratory testing of cannabis and cannabinoids to protect consumers from impurities, contaminants and other irregularities. Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Harris Lee Holdings, LLC, and MA & Associates, LLC, Pazoo provides industry-leading laboratory testing of cannabis. Harris Lee’s and MA’s license agreements with Steep Hill Labs, Inc. allows the Pazoo subsidiaries to use Steep Hill’s top-rated testing protocols in select markets as we expand throughout the USA. Pazoo’s subsidiaries are currently licensed to test cannabis in Nevada and Oregon, with other states to come. Additionally, Pazoo delivers a comprehensive array of health and wellness information on its website www.pazoo.com.  Finally, our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary CK Distribution LLC, provides the marketing and sales agent for the distribution of non-controlled hemp products not only through our testing laboratories but throughout the country.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 760 Route 10, Suite 203, Whippany, New Jersey 07981. Our telephone number is (855) PAZOO-US. Our internet address is www.pazoo.com.
 
Sources of Revenue
We currently have three lines of business relating to and revolving around the health and wellness arena:
 
 
Advertising Revenue from Our Website, www.pazoo.com.   Through advertising providers and agencies, pazoo.com is paid for every ad impression that appears on a page for which a visitor goes to. As we build our visitor base, ad revenue will increase. However, just having the traffic does not effectively increase advertising revenue. To get the full value of each visitor, the time on site must be long enough so that a visitor is interested in going to multiple pages for which there are ads on each page. The only way this will transpire is if the visitor’s experience is gratifying. This is why pazoo.com is so focused on quality content that’s interesting and informative. A bad visitor experience will result in a low time on site and fewer page views. Internet tracking tools have much improved over the past decade and will continue to improve in the coming years, especially when it comes to advertising and overall website analytics. Pazoo continues to constantly improve is this area at all times.
 
Pazoo.com has a unique and compelling online marketing platform. Pazoo.com offers the following important marketing advantages to its target audiences:
 
 
1.
A comprehensive solution as a content source – information on a full spectrum of disciplines within the health and wellness marketplace;
 
2.
Health and wellness experts that have expertise in these varied disciplines and write about their areas expertise; and
 
3.
Content that is both for the health and wellness of people as well as their pets (over 60% of American homes have pets).
 
 
 
 
 
E-commerce.   Our e-commerce offerings will increase as we build the traffic coming to pazoo.com. In this way we could establish a revenue source over and above advertising to increase the value of each visitor. We have the following e-commerce elements ready for an activated marketing program:
 
 
1.
An e-commerce platform that is functional;
 
2.
Relationships with manufacturers, distributors and other e-commerce companies so that increasing product offerings will not be time consuming;
 
3.
Members on the pazoo.com content team with merchandising experience: i.e. a Pazoo expert is buyer of pet products for a large pet retailer; and
 
4.
Members on the pazoo.com content team that are experienced in e-commerce marketing; i.e. we will look to offer our consumers low cost and timely delivery of product by negotiating with shipping companies to offer a flat rates on various products.
 
 
Pharmaceutical Testing Facilities.   We entered this arena through our April 2014 acquisition of a 40% minority equity stake in MA & Associates, LLC. MA & Associates was launched in September of 2013 to provide quality control services to the medical cannabis industry. MA & Associates’ primary mission is to protect the public health by providing infrastructure and analytical services to legally authorized distributors and producers of cannabis and to regulators tracking their operations. As of September, 2015, we have acquired a 100% equity stake in MA & Associates, LLC and the testing laboratory in Las Vegas Nevada is open for business.
 
The company will provide the medical cannabis industry guidelines on how the regulation and inspection by public health authorities is to be implemented. MA & Associates’ primary customer base includes all of the licensed cannabis cultivators, in the State of Nevada, and their customers are required by law to have their products tested before they can be transferred to the dispensaries.
 
We have further expanded our footprint in this arena through our acquisition of 100% stake in Harris Lee Holdings, LLC, a company formed to take the MA & Associates testing model outside of Nevada and into other states.  The company is currently in the process of partnering with Harris Lee Colorado, LLC to take over an existing lab in Denver, Colorado, and just announced it has leased a space in Portland, Oregon where it will be establishing a testing lab. We are in a unique position to provide the mandated health and safety testing upon which this burgeoning industry must hinge moving forward. Lastly, our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary CK Distribution LLC, provides the marketing and sales agent for the distribution of non-controlled hemp products throughout the USA. Non-controlled hemp products are the items utilized by the industry that support grow facilities, infusion companies and dispensaries.
 
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with our executive officers, David M.

We have not made any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
