(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The Company
Resonate Blends, Inc. formerly Textmunication Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in October 1984 in the State of Georgia as Brock Control Systems. Founded by Richard T. Brock, the Company was in the sales automation market and an early developer of enterprise customer management systems. The Company went public at the end of March of 1993. In February of 1996, the Company changed its name to Brock International Inc., and in March of 1998, the Company again changed our name to Firstwave Technologies, Inc.
In 2007, the Company deregistered its common stock in order to avoid the expenses of being a public company. The Company reported briefly on the OTC Disclosure & News Service in 2008 but not for long. The Company again changed its name to FSTWV, Inc.
On October 28, 2013, the Company held a shareholder meeting to reincorporate the company in the State of Nevada and concurrently change its name to Textmunication Holdings, Inc. The Company also voted to approve a 1 for 5 reverse split of its outstanding common stock.
On November 16, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (SEA) with Textmunication, Inc. a California corporation, whereby the sole shareholder of the Company received 65,640,207 new shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of the Textmunication’s issued and outstanding shares.
Textmunication is an online mobile marketing platform service that will connect merchants with their customers and allow them to drive loyalty and repeat business in a non-intrusive, value added medium. For merchants the company provides a mobile marketing platform where they can always send the most up-to-date offers/discounts/alerts/events schedule, such as happy hours, trivia night, and other campaigns. The consumer can also access specials and promotions that merchants choose to distribute through Textmunication by opting into keywords designated to the merchant’s keywords.
On July 9, 2018, the 1 – 1,000 Reverse Split of the Company’s common stock took effect at the open of business. All shares and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse split.
On June 25, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing it plans to change its business direction from its current SMS technology business to focus on the emerging national cannabis market. The Company planned on using its mobile texting platform to enhance communication efforts with the potential acquisitions.
On October 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Resonate Purchase Agreement”) with Resonate Blends, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Resonate”), and the members of Resonate. As a result of the transaction, Resonate became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing an aggregate of 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock for a total of 665,072 shares were issued to the holders of Resonate in exchange for their membership interests of Resonate. These shares have anti-dilution protection. We have also agreed as part of the purchase price to issue: (ii) such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that will convert into 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis upon an annualized revenue run rate of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for any three (3) consecutive month trailing period; and (iii) such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that will convert into 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis upon the occurrence of the Company’s public market value reaching One Hundred Million US Dollars ($100,000,000). The shares in (ii) and (iii) shall have anti-dilution protections, except that this provision only applies for 2.5% of the outstanding shares acquired under each subsection.
Also, on October 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Entourage Labs Purchase Agreement”) with Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Entourage Labs”), and the members of Entourage Labs. As a result of the transaction, Entourage Labs became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing an aggregate of 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock for a total of 665,072 shares were issued to the holders of Entourage Labs in exchange for their membership interests of Entourage Labs. These shares have anti-dilution protection. We have also agreed as part of the purchase price to issue: (ii) such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that will convert into 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis upon an annualized revenue run rate of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for any three (3) consecutive month trailing period; and (iii) such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that will convert into 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis upon the occurrence of the Company’s public market value reaching One Hundred Million US Dollars ($100,000,000).

Johnson and the Company’s 49% owned subsidiary, Aspire Consulting Group, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company. Pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, the Company transferred all assets and business operations associated with its IT consulting solutions, including all of the capital stock of Aspire Consulting, to Mr. Johnson.

Shareholder approval was not required under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. As part of the merger, the Company’s board of directors authorized a change in our name to “Resonate Blends, Inc.” and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $20,950,632. The company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While the Company is expanding its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2020 no cash balances exceeded the federally insured limit.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019 no allowance for doubtful accounts was set up.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
The Company currently derives a substantial majority of its revenue from fees associated with our subscription services, which generally include mobile marketing platform services. Customers are billed for the subscription on a monthly basis. For all of the Company’s customers, regardless of the method, the Company uses to bill them, subscription revenue is recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As services are performed, the Company recognizes subscription revenue on a monthly basis over the applicable service period. When the Company provides a free trial period, the Company does not begin to recognize subscription revenue until the trial period has ended and the customer has been billed for the services.
Professional services revenues are generated from SMS and RCS packages where client logs into a cloud-based application to send targeted SMS messages to their subscribers base. Our custom web application SMS/RCS platform is typically billed on a fixed-price based on the number of SMS/RCS allocated for each package our client purchases. Generally, revenue for SMS/RCS services is recognized immediately as our clients have instant access to their web-based application to send out messages, the number of SMS/RCS messages allocated to a client expires at the end of each month and renews beginning of each month. The Company offers whereby control of the product passes to the customer when delivered and revenue is recognized at the time of delivery.
Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. We did not have any cumulative impact as a result of applying Topic 606.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that is observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The fair value of the accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable are considered short term in nature and therefore their value is considered fair value.
Net income (loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Expenditures for renewals or betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred the cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss thereon is reflected in operations. Company policy capitalize property and equipment for cost over $1,000, asset acquired under $1,000 are charge to operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Because the Company has no net income, the tax benefit of the accumulated net loss has been fully offset by an equal valuation allowance.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Investments in Securities
Investments in securities are accounted for using the equity method if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method is appropriate.

Results of Operation for Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we earned revenues in the amount of $172,144 as compared with revenues of $253,683 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. A 32% decrease in revenue for the 3 months period ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due cancellation of services from customers affected by the COVID19 pandemic. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we earned revenues in the amount of $477,734, as compared with revenues of $497,053 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. A slight decrease by 4% compared to previous year.
All revenues generated were from our subsidiary, Textmunication, Inc. We expect a drastic drop on the revenue for the next quarter as a result of our subsidiary company being sold and discontinued operation of its business. We are finalizing our product line for our cannabis operations and expect to achieve revenues in the coming months with the launch of these new products.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $68,678 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with $96,027 for the same period ended June 30, 2019. Cost of revenues was $159,237 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with $184,553 for the same period ended June 30, 2019.
Our gross profit was $103,466 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 or approximately 60% of revenues, as compared with $157,656 for the same period ended June 30, 2019, or approximately 62% of revenues. Our gross profit was $318,497 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 or approximately 67% of revenues, as compared with $312,500 for the same period ended June 30, 2019, or approximately 63% of revenues. Gross profit ration for the six months period slightly increase due to reduction of cost of server and computer programming cost.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses were $590,319 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with $331,62 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our operating expenses were $1,489,395 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with $3,077,307 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The main reason for our decreased in operating expenses in 2020 was a result of non-cash management fees in 2019 of $2,521,582, while this year we only have $198,514 non-cash management fees.
5 |
Other Income
We had other expense of $695,230 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with other expenses of $3,070 for the same period ended June 30, 2019. We had other expenses of $620,113 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with other income of $3,399 for the same period ended June 30, 2019.
The main reason for our increased other income in 2020 was a result of $617,768 loss on the change of derivative liability during 2020.
Net Income/Loss
We had net loss of $1,182,083 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with net loss of $188,982 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. We had a net loss of $1,790,911 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with a net loss of $2,780,217 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2020, we had total current assets of $228,336, consisting of cash and receivables. Our total current liabilities as of June 30, 2020 were $1,931,265. We had a working capital deficit of $1,677,929 as of June 30, 2020, compared with a working capital deficit of $612,228 as of December 31, 2019.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities used $762,261 in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with cash used of $54,391 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our negative operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was largely the result of our net loss of $1,790,911. Our negative operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was largely the result of our net loss of $2,780,307, offset mainly by share based compensation of $2,521,580.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We used no cash on investing activities for both the three or six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $890,862 compared with cash flows provided by financing activities of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our positive cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 consisted primarily of convertible notes, notes payable and stock subscriptions.
The features of the debt instruments and payables concerning our financing activities are detailed in the footnotes to our financial statements.
Our optimum level of growth for success will be achieved if we are able to raise $1,500,000 in the next twelve months. However, funds are difficult to raise in today’s economic environment. If we are unable to raise $1,500,000, our ability to implement our business plan and achieve our goals will be significantly diminished.
We have experienced a history of losses. With Resonate Blends in development stage and Textmunication revenues will cease in the next quarter, we are reliant on outside capital as we have been in the past. We will need at a minimum $1,500,000 in capital to operate in the next 12 months.
We are dependent on investment capital to continue our survival. We have raised money through convertible debt, almost always on unfavorable terms. There is no guarantee that these small convertible loans will be available to us in the future or on terms acceptable to us.
We also plan to raise money in the sale of our equity securities. There can be no assurance of funds from these efforts or that any other type of additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
6 |
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2020, we have an accumulated deficit of $20,950,632. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal year has had or is expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2020, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.
Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending June 30, 2020. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
2. | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
3. | Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness once resources become available.
We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.
