FRESH PROMISE FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Fresh Promise Foods, Inc. (“Fresh Promise” or the “Company”) is a consumer products and marketing company focused on the high-margin, multi-billion dollar health and wellness food and beverage sectors.
On June 27, 2017, Creative Edge Nutrition, a Nevada corporation ("CEN") and Fresh Promise executed an asset purchase agreement whereby the Company purchased the assets and liabilities of CEN's subsidiary, Giddy Up Energy Products, Inc. ("Giddy Up"). As consideration, the Company exchanged 4,630,081,800 shares of its common stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is in the process of spinning out its existing assets and liabilities and assuming Giddy Up's business plan involving nutritional supplements and energy drinks focusing on an active lifestyle.
On August 28, 2018, the Company executed an assignment and assumption agreement with Harvest Soul, LLC (“Harvest Soul”) providing for the sale of certain assets and the assignment of certain liabilities to Harvest Soul.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception.
The Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations and has incurred significant operating losses since inception and has a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements and convertible notes as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or other securities, and short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to so until its consolidated operations become profitable. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising sufficient capital when needed.
Discontinued Operations
In light of the Company’s legal proceedings involving certain former management, Fresh Promise decided to discontinue the business operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary Harvest Soul, LLC. This business was classified as discontinued operations beginning with the Company’s December 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements. On August 28, 2018, Fresh Promise executed an assignment and assumption agreement with Harvest Soul providing for the sale of certain assets and the assignment of certain liabilities to Harvest Soul.
The Company’s results of operations related to Harvest Soul have been reclassified as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis for all years presented. For additional information see Note 3 — Discontinued Operations.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company believes these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.
7 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its financial instruments. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The respective carrying value of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximates its fair value. These financial instruments include cash, related party payables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings. Fair values were estimated to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature, and they are receivable or payable on demand.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests scheduled annual impairment tests.
At December 31, 2017, the Company performed its annual impairment test on the carrying value of its goodwill and recorded an impairment charge totaling $463,007.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at March 31, 2018 and 2017. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. At March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had convertible notes outstanding that could be converted into approximately 23,061,342,983 and 8,969,560,081 common shares based up the closing bid price of the company’s common stock at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Shares which would result from the conversion of the convertible notes were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for 2018 and 2017 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Share-Based Compensation
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
8 |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities
A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of the ASC 740 -10 related to, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions will be highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. Management has not filed tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also, in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. The new standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as it currently does not maintain any capital or operating leases.
On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. Previously, share-based payment arrangements to nonemployees were accounted for under ASC 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services were accounted for under ASC 505-50. Before the amendment, the major difference for the Company (but not limited to) was the determination of measurement date which generally is the date on which the measurement of equity classified share-based payments becomes fixed. Equity classified share-based payments for employees was fixed at the time of grant. Equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are no longer measured at the earlier of the date which a commitment for performance by the counterparty is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. They are now measured at the grant date of the award which is the same as share-based payments for employees. The Company adopted the requirements of the new rule as of January 1, 2019, the effective date of the new guidance.
The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.
9 |
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred net losses from operations of $1,507,613 and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $4,994. The Company has relied, in large part, upon debt financing to fund its operations. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding indebtedness, net of discounts, of $1,120,400 and had $6 in cash.
As such, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as such is dependent upon management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan, including increasing revenues through the sale of existing and future product offerings and reducing expenses in order to meet the Company’s current and future obligations. However, even if the Company is successful in executing its plan, the Company may not generate enough revenue to satisfy all of its current obligations as they become due in addition to its outstanding indebtedness. Until the Company consistently generates positive cash flow from its operations, or successfully satisfies, refinances or replaces its current indebtedness, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to successfully satisfy, refinance or replace its current indebtedness. Historically, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of convertible debt as a measure to finance working capital needs. The Company will be required to continue to do so until such time that its consolidated operations become profitable. Failure to satisfy existing or obtain new financing may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to operate as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In light of the Company’s legal proceedings involving certain former management, Fresh Promise decided to discontinue its business operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary Harvest Soul. This business was classified as discontinued operations beginning with the Company’s December 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements.
The Company made the decision to impair all of the assets of Harvest Soul resulting in a charge of $217,728 in 2015. The decision to impair the assets was made as Harvest Soul was operating autonomously during the legal proceedings, and the Company determined that the assets presented it with no future economic benefit. The impairment charge is reflected under operating expenses in the operating results from discontinued operations summarized below.
Effective August 28, 2018, the Company executed an assignment and assumption agreement with Harvest Soul, LLC (the “Purchaser”) providing for the sale of certain assets and the assignment of certain (i) notes payable, (ii) accrued salaries and (iii) contracts (collectively the “Assumed Liabilities”) to Purchaser and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by the Purchaser.
The operating results of the Company’s discontinued operations are summarized below:

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company determined that the fair value of these derivative liabilities totaled $2,019,750 and $1,699,583, respectively.
The value of the derivative liabilities was determined using the following Black-Scholes methodology:
March 31, 2018 |
December 31, 2017 |
|||||||
Expected dividend yield (1) | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % | ||||
Risk-free interest rate (2) | 2.09 | % | 1.76 | % | ||||
Expected volatility (3) | 348.29 – 487.85 | % | 446.63 – 486.95 | % | ||||
Expected life (in years) | 0.50 – 1.00 | 0.75 – 1.00 |
______________
(1) | The Company has no history or expectation of paying cash dividends on its common stock. |
(2) | The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the promissory notes in effect at the time of issuance. |
(3) | The volatility of the Company’s common stock is based on trading activity for the previous contractual term ended at each promissory note issuance date. |
13 |
In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt or preferred stock instruments that have conversion features that are in-the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is generally calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. If certain other securities are issued with the convertible security, the proceeds are allocated among the different components. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible security is divided by the contractual number of the conversion shares to determine the effective conversion price, which is used to measure the BCF. The effective conversion price is used to compute the intrinsic value. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security.
All of the convertible debentures were analyzed at the time of their issuance for a beneficial conversion feature. In some instances, the Company concluded that a beneficial conversion feature existed. The beneficial conversion features were measured using the commitment-date stock price and were determined to aggregate $698,819. This amount is recorded as a debt discount and is amortized as interest expense over the term of the related convertible debentures. The remaining debt discounts associated with these beneficial conversion features was $352,409 as of March 31, 2018. The related amortization expense was $346,910 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company converted, upon receiving formal notices from its noteholders, $17,369 in note principal, plus accrued interest totaling $41,581, into 1,071,819,813 shares of common stock.
At March 31, 2018, the number of shares of common stock underlying these convertible debentures totaled 23,061,342,983 shares.
NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $13,785,033 million that may be available to reduce its tax liability through tax year 2037. The Company estimates the benefits of this loss carry forward at $2,894,857 if it produces sufficient taxable income. No adjustments to the financial statements have been recorded for this potential tax benefit. The Company has no provisions from income tax in 2018, due to current period losses and full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate of 21% to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Expected expense (benefit) (21%) | $ | (308,083 | ) | $ | (203,663 | ) | ||

Tax net operating loss carryforwards may be limited pursuant to the IRS Section 382 in the event of certain ownership changes.
NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company has adopted the guidance under ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured on a fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data and requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. Further authoritative accounting guidance (ASU No. 2009-05) under ASC Topic 820, provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update.
The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of input, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
· | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
· | Level 2 – Input other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities. |
· | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the over- all fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair value of free-standing derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes modes.
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair value were determined by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

Overview
Fresh Promise Foods, Inc. (“Fresh Promise” or the “Company”) is a consumer products and marketing company focused on the high-margin, multi-billion dollar health and wellness food and beverage sectors.
On June 27, 2017, Creative Edge Nutrition, a Nevada corporation ("CEN") and Fresh Promise executed an asset purchase agreement whereby the Company purchased the assets and liabilities of CEN's subsidiary, Giddy Up Energy Products, Inc. ("Giddy Up"). As consideration, the Company exchanged 4,630,081,800 shares of its common stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is in the process of spinning out its existing assets and liabilities and assuming Giddy Up's business plan involving nutritional supplements and energy drinks focusing on an active lifestyle.
On August 28, 2018, the Company executed an assignment and assumption agreement with Harvest Soul, LLC (“Harvest Soul”) providing for the sale of certain assets and the assignment of certain liabilities to Harvest Soul.
Discontinued Operations
In light of the Company’s legal proceedings involving certain former management, Fresh Promise decided to discontinue the business operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary Harvest Soul. The Company’s results of operations related to Harvest Soul have been reclassified as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, the following discussions in this section (Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) pertain only to our continuing operations. For additional information see “Note 3 — Discontinued Operations” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
Sales
We did not record any revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. As discussed above, we discontinued our operating subsidiary Harvest Soul, LLC; which had been our sole source for sales revenue in prior periods.
On June 27, 2017, we acquired Giddy Up and are currently in the process of implementing its business plan involving nutritional supplements and energy drinks focusing on an active lifestyle. While we believe that Giddy Up and other opportunities will generate future revenue for the Company, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in the execution of our current business plan.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting cost of goods sold from sales. Gross profit percentage is calculated by dividing gross profit by sales.
We did not record any cost of goods sold for either of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. As such, we did not realize any gross profits during either of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Operating Expenses
We incurred $770,553 in operating expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $0 in operating expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The largest component of our operating expenses during the current year period was related to the settlement of a legal matter. See Item 1. Legal Proceedings. On January 1, 2018, the Company issued three convertible notes to settle legal damages totaling $693,819 awarded to the Plaintiffs after pursuing all potential remedies against the other Defendants.
Our operating expenses are comprised primarily of compensation costs, professional services and other general expenses. We expect our operating expenses to increase proportionally to our operating activities in future periods as we begin to execute upon our business plan.

Other Income (Expense)
Net other expenses totaled $705,157 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $969,824 in net other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The Company issues convertible notes to finance operations, some of which have embedded derivative features. The value of these instruments will fluctuate as the trading price of our common stock changes. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we experienced a non-cash gain of $2,013,395 from the decrease in value of these derivative features. This compares to a non-cash loss of $948,527 from the increase in the value of these derivative liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded interest expense related to the amortization of debt discounts totaling $346,910. We did not record any interest expense related to the amortization of debt discounts during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense on convertible notes increased by $16,783, from $21,297 in 2017 to $38,080 in 2018. This increase was the result of certain true ups or penalties incurred on the Company’s interest bearing convertible promissory notes.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
We incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $1,475,710, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $969,824, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The weighted average number of basic and fully diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 8,337,612,345, compared to 829,919,771 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. There are no dilutive equivalents included in our calculation of fully diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to our net loss per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company sustained a net loss of $ $1,507,613 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and a net loss of $1,193,703 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Because of the absence of positive cash flows from operations, the Company requires additional funding to execute upon its business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We are presently unable to meet our obligations as they come due. At March 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $6 and a working capital deficit of $4,967,396. Our working capital deficit is largely due to the balance of our convertible notes payable and related derivative liabilities, in addition to $1,313,771 in current liabilities from discontinued operations.
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $4,994 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
We did not realize any net cash provided by or used in our investing activities from continuing operations in either of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase during the current year period was directly attributable to net proceeds received from the issuance of a new convertible note.
We anticipate that our cash requirements will arise from the need to fund our growth from operations, pay current obligations and future capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding in the near term for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from raising additional funds by the issuance of convertible notes. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern. Our 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 to attain profitability. In addition, our business plan for the next twelve months is to raise capital to continue to expand our operations. We are presently engaged in capital raising activities through one or more private offering of our company’s securities. See “Note 2– Going Concern” in our financial statements for additional information as to the possibility that we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Inflation
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2018. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, we and our management recognize that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. As of March 31, 2018, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
In light of the conclusion that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of March 31, 2018, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regards to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the periods covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as at, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
