Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Financial Presentation
The unaudited 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 nature 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 an early growth stage 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.
We entered the pharmaceutical testing laboratory market with our acquisitions of MA & Associates, which will operate pharmaceutical testing laboratories in Nevada, and Harris Lee 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Harris Lee LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated as of March 31, 2015.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets as of March 31, 2015 consisted of a license agreement acquired for $200,000 during March 2015 from Steep Hill Labs for the right to take the Steep Hill software and methodology to states above and beyond Nevada. The cost basis of the intangible asset will be amortized over the initial 9-year term of the license. Amortization expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was zero as the amount was nominal.
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 exeeds 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 license was evaluated for impairment and no impairment loss was incurred as of March 31, 2015.
Note 2—GOING CONCERN
From inception of November 16, 2010 through March 31, 2015, the Company has incurred net losses of $9,344,477 and the Company has a working capital deficit as of March 31, 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.

The amounts paid under this agreement in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 were $15,000 and $14,250, 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 $1,500 as of March 31, 2015 of which $750 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as stock-based compensation. The shares will be issued upon vesting.

Note 5—EQUITY METHOD INVESMENTS 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 March 31, 2015, the Company has significant influence in its investments in, MA & Associates, LLC and subsequently gained control in the second quarter of 2015. (See Subsequent Events.)
As of March 31, 2015, the Company owned a 40% interest in MA. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company paid an additional $499,000 of the $2,000,000 cash portion of the purchase price and issued 100,000 of the 150,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The remaining shares will be issued in the future after the testing laboratory is operational. Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company paid an additional $237,638. The fair value of the 100,000 Series C shares was determined to be $146,000 and it was recognized as compensation expense to the sellers of MAIn addition, there are 60,000 additional Series C shares to be issued upon achieving certain milestones in 2015 of which 30,000 were issued valued and expensed at $43,800.
In accordance with the agreement, ICPI is entitled to 500,000 Series C shares of which 300,000 were issued valued and expensed at $438,000. The remaining 200,000 shares will be issued upon achieving certain milestones in 2015.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company performed an impairment analysis and determined that due to the fact that MA is a start up with no current cash flows; we impaired 100% of the additional equity method investment resulting in an impairment loss of $499,000.
The Company recognizes its proportionate share of the net income or losses for MA in the Statements of Operations, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in equity method investees, the Company reduces to zero its carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term loans) and discontinues recognizing further losses except to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the equity method investees. The Company eliminates unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its equity method investees and eliminates unrealized losses unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Re-measurement differences of equity stake resulting from gaining control over the investee previously recorded as an equity method investments are recorded under Results related to investments in equity method investees. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the equity method investment loss recognized was zero as it was determined to be nominal.
Harris Lee Holdings, LLC

Note 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILIITY
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 5 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 March 31, 2015.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. 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 ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 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 March 31, 2015, we had total assets of $323,111 and plan to make additional investments in online content.
The primary mission of pazoo.com is to deliver health and wellness content in the form of media, articles, blogs, videos and other media/content. Additionally, www.pazoo.com delivers healthy cost-effective nutritional products based on relationships with leading manufacturers in the health improvement industry. In other words, pazoo.com is a user-friendly, attractively designed web site and e-commerce portal for total health and wellness information and health products for individuals and their pets. We seek to enhance visitors’ experiences to our website by providing total health content and health products including foods, drinks, supplements, wellness merchandise, and health/wellness advice. Pazoo.com’s primary target demographic is health conscious adults ages 24 - 54 seeking to better their personal well-being and complement their daily lifestyles with consumer products items that are part of and promote a healthy lifestyle.
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 seen a strong increase in its viewership as shown by the recent average time spent on site for the period March 2014 to May 2014 of five minutes and forty seconds versus three minutes and twenty-seven seconds for the same time period from December 2013 to February 2014 with the same amount of page views.
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 recent 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.
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. As such, we are in a unique position to provide the mandated health and safety testing upon which this burgeoning industry must hinge.

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.
