Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business

 

The Company is a growth stage health and wellness company. Presently, their 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, the Company entered the pharmaceutical testing laboratory market with their acquisitions of MA & Associates, LLC which will operate pharmaceutical testing laboratories in Nevada, and Harris Lee Holdings, LLC which will operate pharmaceutical testing laboratories within other states, or license testing protocols as independently owned laboratories.  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 their testing laboratories.  Lastly, the Company's 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.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Pazoo, Inc. ("Pazoo" or the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MA & Associates, LLC, Harris Lee Holdings, LLC, and CK Distribution, LLC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

In March 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") whereby every one hundred (100) shares of outstanding common stock decreased to one (1) share of common stock. Similarly, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 ("Common Stock") into which each outstanding Preferred stock and warrant to purchase common stock is to be exercisable decreased on a 1-for-100 basis and the exercise price of each outstanding preferred stock and warrant to purchase common stock increased proportionately. The impact of this reverse stock split has been retroactively applied to the financial statements and the related notes.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed on April 15, 2016.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with GAAP the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

On an ongoing 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 and conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the financial statements. 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pazoo and its subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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. 

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 licenses were evaluated for impairment and no impairment loss was incurred as of December 31, 2015.  

The Company, due to the uncertainties surrounding the license agreement, impaired 100% of the value of the Steep Hill Labs licenses due to the purported unsubstantiated termination of the license agreements in June 2016 between Steep Hill Labs and MA & Associates, LLC and Harris Lee, LLC respectively.  The Company strongly believes that any attempted termination of the licenses on the part of Steep Hill Labs was ineffective for many reasons, including, without limitation, Steep Hill's failure to provide key deliverables including technology, scientific know-how and lab guidance. On July 6, 2016, the Company contested the improper attempted termination of the licenses which was based on no identifiable contractual justification, and to which Steep Hill has not formally responded.  To the contrary, as of the date of this Report, Steep Hill Labs continues to list the Company as one of its "partners" and continues to display the Company's Las Vegas facility as a Steep Hill location. If Steep Hill Labs takes any further action to effectuate the ineffective termination of the licenses, this matter will be litigated under the terms and conditions of the respective license agreements, which management will vigorously defend.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects, in addition to the weighted average number of common shares, the potential dilution if shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock and a corresponding accrued 5% dividend, unless the effects of such exercises and conversions would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance related to how an entity should recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The guidance specifies that an entity who is a lessee under lease agreements should recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous FASB guidance. Accounting for leases by lessors is largely unchanged under the new guidance. The guidance is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption is permitted.  In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the new standard, income tax benefits and deficiencies are to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity should also recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. In regards to forfeitures, the entity may make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period, however early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the Company's adoption method and the effect it will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed to have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, convertible debt, and accounts payable. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of its other financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. The fair value of our long-term debt is determined by using estimated market prices. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.

Level 3: Inputs include management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument's valuation.

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when evidence of an agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and goods have been delivered or services performed.  The Company is paid revenue from various advertising, cannabis testing, and sales and distribution of non-controlled hemp products.

 

Note 2—GOING CONCERN

 

During the nine months ended September 2015 and 2016, the Company incurred net losses of $2,420,465 and $8,417,040, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,337,290. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated 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 and raise additional capital to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately attain profitability.  If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow or raise additional capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

Note 3—FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets consists of the following:

 

Fixed Assets

		Estimated Useful Life (in years)				September 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
Cost:
Equipment			3-5			$	643,195			$	643,195
Furniture and fixture			7				6,687				6,687
Leasehold improvements			3-5				238,620				238,620
Website			3				1,385				1,385
						$	889,887			$	889,887
Accumulated depreciation and amortization							(211,822	)			(140,046	)
Fixed Assets, Net						$	678,065			$	749,841

 

Costs of assets acquired under capital leases were approximately $615,000 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The capital lease represents a total of three leases for testing equipment. The leases hold an interest rate of 0% and monthly payments are approximately $17,000 per month. As of September 30, 2016 and at December 31, 2015, accumulated depreciation related to assets was $211,822 and $140,046, respectively.

Note 4—INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets as of December 31, 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, and the MA license derived from the acquisition of $1,345,771.  As of September 30, 2016, the Company has impaired 100% of the Steep Hill license agreement acquired for $307,500 as well as the MA license derived from acquisition of $1,345,771. The impairment was due to the uncertainties surrounding the license agreement, as well as the purported unsubstantiated termination of the license agreements in June 2016 between Steep Hill Labs and MA & Associates, LLC and Harris Lee, LLC respectively. 

 

 

Note 5—LINES OF CREDIT

The Company entered into a line of credit with Wells Fargo in December 2015 in the amount of $25,000.  The credit line bears an interest rate of 9.75% annually, compounded daily, and there is no term on the account. There are no financial covenants and the guarantor on the account is Steve Basloe, the Company's President. The line of credit has been used for general operating expenses.  The balance at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016 was $19,500 and $18,666, respectively.

The Company entered into a line of credit with Wells Fargo in May 2016 in the amount of $5,000. The credit line bears an interest rate of 24.24% for the first year and then 9.75% annually, compounded daily, and there is no term on the account. There are no financial covenants and the guarantor on the account is David Cunic, the Company's CEO. The balance at September 30, 2016 was $4,883. The credit has been used for general operating expenses.

Note 6—DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company evaluates all of its 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 8 require liability classification because they do not contain an explicit limit to the number of shares that could be issued upon settlement.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities during nine months ended September 30, 2016:

Amounts incurred under this agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, totaled $6,500 and $15,000, respectively.

In July 2015, Harris Lee Holdings, LLC entered into a series of agreements related to the operations of the Colorado testing facility being managed by Harris Lee Colorado, LLC.  The Managing Member of Harris Lee Colorado, LLC is an immediate family member of Steve Basloe, President and Director of the Company. 

 

The Company is currently managing Harris Lee Colorado, LLC, an existing lab in Denver, Colorado, after receiving approval from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division in February of 2016. Harris Lee Holdings, LLC has sub-licensed the testing protocols to Harris Lee Colorado, LLC in exchange for a testing fee for each test conducted. The Colorado MED has recently approved the transfer of management of an existing laboratory, to Harris Lee Colorado, LLC (a related party) and Harris Lee Holdings, LLC has begun to derive testing revenue from Harris Lee Colorado, LLC.  The revenue derived from these tests for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $30,515.

 

Note 11—COMMITMENTS

 

On March 10, 2015, Harris Lee signed a 9-year licensing agreement with Steep Hill Labs, LLC, with options to renew for an additional 9 years. The purpose of the agreement is to take the Steep Hill licensing to additional states to test medical marijuana above and beyond the State of Nevada, namely Oregon and Colorado. 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, Inc, 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. The Company has the option to enter into additional states with similar commitments and royalties.  In June 2016, the Company, due to the uncertainties surrounding the license agreement with Steep Hill, impaired 100% of the value of the Steep Hill Labs licenses due to the purported unsubstantiated termination of the license agreements in June 2016 between Steep Hill Labs and MA & Associates, LLC and Harris Lee, LLC respectively. 

In 2015, MA and Associates, LLC entered into various capital lease agreements to finance fixed asset purchases for approximately $615,000. Total monthly payments over the 36 month terms are approximately $17,000.

Item 2     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Overview

We were incorporated as a C-Corporation in the State of Nevada as IUCSS, Inc. on November 16, 2010 and we established a fiscal year end of December 31.  On May 9, 2011, we changed our name to Pazoo, Inc. to take advantage of unique branding and website opportunities. We are a start-up health and wellness social community that has developed its website (www.pazoo.com) to provide information, services, and online products for improvement of everyday living.  Our mission is to be 1) a leading social community offering best-in-class health and wellness products for both people and pets; 2) an important resource for consumers and professionals with diverse information about health and wellness and 3) specifically as it relates to medical marijuana and the testing of medical marijuana to ensure quality and safety for the consumer.

Our principal executive offices are located at 23 Vreeland Rd, Suite 110, Florham Park NJ 07923. Our telephone number is (855) PAZOO-US. Our internet address is www.pazoo.com.

On or about April 8, 2014 Pazoo moved into the pharmaceutical testing space with the acquisition of MA & Associates, LLC a Nevada limited liability company formed with the purpose of opening a cannabis testing laboratory based in Las Vegas, Nevada to be branded under the Steep Hill Labs name. Harris Lee Holdings, LLC was formed, as a Nevada limited liability company, on or about July 23, 2014 and was formed to hold a License from Steep Hill Labs, Inc. for cannabis testing protocols and the use of the Steep Hill Labs name.   Both entities are now a wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.  The intent is that Harris Lee Holdings, LLC will directly own and operate testing laboratories in states where permitted to do so, and sub-license the Steep Hill testing protocol in states where direct ownership would be prohibited.

The Company, due to the uncertainties surrounding the license agreement, impaired 100% of the value of the Steep Hill Labs licenses due to the purported unsubstantiated termination of the license agreements in June 2016 between Steep Hill Labs and MA & Associates, LLC and Harris Lee, LLC respectively.  The Company strongly believes that any attempted termination of the licenses on the part of Steep Hill Labs was ineffective for many reasons, including, without limitation, Steep Hill's failure to provide key deliverables including technology, scientific know-how and lab guidance. On July 6, 2016, the Company contested the improper attempted termination of the licenses which was based on no identifiable contractual justification, and to which Steep Hill has not formally responded.  To the contrary, as of the date of this Report, Steep Hill Labs continues to list the Company as one of its "partners" and continues to display the Company's Las Vegas facility as a Steep Hill location. If Steep Hill Labs takes any further action to effectuate the ineffective termination of the licenses, this matter will be litigated under the terms and conditions of the respective license agreements, which management will vigorously defend.

 

Sources of Revenue

We currently have three lines of business relating to and revolving around the health and wellness arena:

 

●

Pazoo.com has a unique and compelling online marketing platform. Pazoo.com offers the following important marketing advantages to its target audiences:

2.

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.

●

Pharmaceutical Testing Facilities.    MA & Associates was launched 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 June, 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 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 managing Harris Lee Colorado, LLC, an existing lab in Denver, Colorado, after receiving approval from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division in February of 2016. Harris Lee Holdings, LLC has sub-licensed the testing protocols to Harris Lee Colorado, LLC in exchange for a testing fee for each test conducted. The Colorado MED has recently approved the transfer of management of an existing laboratory, to Harris Lee Colorado, LLC (a related party) and Harris Lee Holdings, LLC has begun to derive testing revenue from Harris Lee Colorado, LLC.  The revenue derived from these tests for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $30,515.

The Company also 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 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.
