Note 1 Organization and Nature of Operations

 

SQL Technologies Corp. (f/k/a Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp.), a Florida corporation (the “Company”), was originally organized in May 2004 as a limited liability company under the name of Safety Quick Light, LLC. The Company was converted to corporation on November 6, 2012. Effective August 12, 2016, the Company changed its name from “Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp.” to “SQL Technologies Corp.” The Company holds a number of worldwide patents, and has received a variety of final electrical code approvals, including UL Listing and CSA approval (for the United States and Canadian Markets), and CE (for the European market). The Company maintains offices in Georgia, Florida and in Foshan, Peoples Republic of China.

 

The Company is engaged in the business of developing proprietary technology that enables a quick and safe installation of electrical fixtures, such as light fixtures and ceiling fans, by the use of a power plug installed in ceiling and wall electrical junction boxes. The Company’s main technology consists of a weight bearing, fixable socket and a revolving plug for conducting electric power and supporting an electrical appliance attached to a wall or ceiling. The socket is comprised of a nonconductive body that houses conductive rings connectable to an electric power supply through terminals in its side exterior.

 

The plug is also comprised of a non-conductive body that houses corresponding conductive rings, attaches to the socket via a male post and is capable of feeding electric power to an appliance. The plug also includes a second structural element allowing it to revolve and a releasable latching which, when engaged, provides a retention force between the socket and the plug to prevent disengagement. The socket and plug can be detached by releasing the latch, disengaging the electric power from the plug. The socket is designed to replace the support bar incorporated in electric junction boxes, and the plug can be installed in light fixtures, ceiling fans and wall sconce fixtures.

 

The Company markets consumer friendly, energy saving “plug-in” ceiling fans and light fixtures under the General Electric (“GE”) brand as well as “conventional” ceiling lights and fans carrying the GE brand. The Company also owns 98.8% of SQL Lighting & Fans LLC (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary was formed in Florida on April 27, 2011, and is in the business of manufacturing the patented device that the Company owns. The Subsidiary had no activity during the periods presented.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Table of Contents 

6

 
 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future nonconforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in its sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others: (i) the uncertainty associated with the commercialization and ultimate success of the product; (ii) competition inherent at large national retail chains where product is expected to be sold; (iii) general economic conditions; and (iv) the related volatility of prices pertaining to the cost of sales.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SQL Technologies Corp. (f/k/a Safety Quick Lighting and Fans Corp.) and the Subsidiary, SQL Lighting & Fans LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

In May 2012, in connection with the sale of the Company’s membership units in the Subsidiary, the Company’s ownership percentage in the Subsidiary decreased from 98.8% to 94.35%. The Company then reacquired these membership units in June 2013, increasing the ownership percentage from 94.35% back to 98.8%. During 2014, there was no activity in the Subsidiary. Its pro rata share of the Company’s 2014 and 2015 loss from operations is recognized in the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had $5,062,130 and $450,868 in money market as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future bad debts, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

 

The Company’s net balance of accounts receivable for three months ended June 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015:

 

   June 30, 2016  December 31, 2015
           
 Accounts Receivable  $1,314,128   $234,309 
 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   —      —   
 Net Accounts Receivable  $1,314,128   $234,309 
           

 

All amounts are deemed collectible at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and accordingly, the Company has not incurred any bad debt expense at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the firstin, firstout method. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.

 

At June, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $2,438,900 and $263,871 in inventory, respectively. The Company will maintain an allowance based on specific inventory items that have shown no activity over a 24 month period. The Company tracks inventory as it is disposed, scrapped or sold at below cost to determine whether additional items on hand should be reduced in value through an allowance method. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has determined that no allowance is required.

 

Valuation of Long-lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. The Company determined no impairment adjustment was necessary for the periods presented.

 

Table of Contents 

8

 
 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 57 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Intangible Asset Patent

 

The Company developed a patent for an installation device used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15 year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the Patent Office.

 

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets.

 

GE Trademark Licensing Agreement

 

The Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with General Electric on June, 2011 (the “License Agreement”) allowing the Company to utilize the “GE trademark” on products which meet the stringent manufacturing and quality requirements of General Electric (the “GE Trademark License”). As described further in Note 5 to these financial statements, the Company and General Electric amended the License Agreement in August 2014. As a result of that amendment, the Company is required to pay a minimum trademark licensing fee (the “Royalty Obligation”) to General Electric of $12,000,000. The repayment schedule is based on a percent of sales, with any unpaid balance due in November 2018. Under SFAS 142 “Accounting for Certain Intangible Assets” the Company has recorded the value of the Licensing Agreement and will amortize it over the life of the License Agreement, which is 60-months.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

Table of Contents 

9

 
 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under Level 3. See Note 8.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 47020 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, 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 revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

For  option based simple 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 reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Table of Contents

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Extinguishments of Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with ASC 86010 (formerly SFAS 140) “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. When the conditions are met for extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recognized.

 

Stock Based Compensation – Employees

 

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 7181030 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 71810306 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 71810502(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 71810S991, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 71810502(f) (2)(ii) a thinly traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk- free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Generally, all forms of share based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Subtopic 50550 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Subtopic 50550”).

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 5055030, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum, or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 71810502(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 71810502(f) (2)(ii) a thinly traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 50550257, if fully vested, no forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra equity under the requirements of paragraph 50550451) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 50550451, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra equity by the grantor of the equity instruments.

 

The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 5055030 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 50550258 and 50550259, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 5055030S991, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenues from the sale of GE branded fans and lighting fixtures to large retailers through retail and online sales.

 

Revenue is recorded when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) asset is transferred to the customer without further obligation, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and third party manufacturing of the Company’s products.

 

Product sold is typically shipped directly to the customer from the third party manufacturer; costs associated with shipping and handling is shown as a component of cost of sales.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

 

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, option and warrant contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company reflected net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been antidilutive for the period. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented.

 

The Company has the following common stock equivalents at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 85010 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 8501020 the related parties include (a) Affiliates of the Company; (b) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) Trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) Principal owners of the Company; (e) Management of the Company; (f) Other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 45020 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, and consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 8551050 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued.

 

Pursuant to ASU 201009 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201503, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 83530): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 201503”). ASU 201503 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 201503. ASU 201503 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has reclassified debt issuance costs from prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets as a reduction to debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201511, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 201511”), which applies guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. ASU 201511 states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance excludes inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. ASU 201511 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 201511 and is currently evaluating ASU 201511 to determine the potential impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with the May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 closings of the Notes Offering (defined below), the Company issued 5,390,100 detachable warrants. The notes and warrants were treated as derivative liabilities.

 

On November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 the Company completed closings in connection with its offering (the “Notes Offering”) of its 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “12% Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,240,100 and/or its 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (the “15% Notes”, and together with the 12% Notes, each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), as applicable, with certain “accredited investors” (the “Investors”), as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes of $3,574,234 outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and $4,270,100 was outstanding as of December 31, 2015, such amount being exclusive of securities converted into the Notes separate from the Notes Offering. Pursuant to the Notes Offering, the Company received $1,752,803, $1,400,000 and $800,500 in net proceeds on November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, respectively.

 

In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the Notes began accruing interest on the date that each Investor submitted the principal balance of such Investor’s Note, with the interest thereon becoming due and payable on the one year anniversary, and quarterly thereafter. Upon a default of the Notes, the interest rate will increase by 2% for each 30 day period until cured. The principal balance of each Note and all unpaid interest became or will become due and payable twenty-four (24) months after the date of issuance. The Notes may be prepaid with or without a penalty depending on the date of the prepayment. The principal and interest under the Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share and are secured by a first priority lien (subject only to an existing note with Signature Bank of Georgia on the Company’s intellectual property and all substitutes, replacements and proceeds of such intellectual property) pursuant to the terms of a Security Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, as applicable, by and between the Company and each Investor.

 

 Pursuant to the Notes Offering, each Investor also received five (5) year common stock warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.375 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”). Investors of the 12% Notes received Warrants with 25% coverage based on a predetermined valuation of the Company. Investors of the 15% Notes received Warrants with 15% coverage based on the predetermined valuation of the Company. Investors with a principal investment amount equal to or greater than $250,000 received Warrants with a bonus 40% coverage (“Bonus Coverage”); however, if an Investor previously invested $250,000 or more in the Notes Offering, such Investor received Bonus Coverage if such Investor subsequently invested $100,000 or more in the Notes Offering. In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the Warrants may be exercised by the Investors by providing to the Company a notice of exercise, payment and surrender of the Warrant.

 

In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements, each dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, and each by and between the Company and each of the Investors (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreements”), whereby the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) days after execution of the applicable Registration Rights Agreement and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days thereafter.

Because the Company was unable to file a registration statement pursuant to the terms of each Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or May 8, 2014, the Company was in default under such Registration Rights Agreements (the “Filing Default Damages”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Filing Default Damages mandate that the Company shall pay to the Investors, for each thirty (30) day period of such failure and until the filing date of the registration statement and/or the common stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% percent of the aggregate gross proceeds paid by the Investors for the Notes. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages in full within five (5) days of the date payable, which is the Note maturity date, the Company shall pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

 

In addition, because the Company was unable to have a registration statement declared effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013, the Company was in default under such Registration Rights agreements (the “Effectiveness Default Damages”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Effectiveness Default Damages mandated that the interest rate due under the Note corresponding to such Registration Rights Agreement will increase 2% above the then effective interest rate of such Note, and shall continue to increase by 2% every 30 days until a registration statement is declared effective. The Company’s registration statement covering its common stock, into which the Notes may be converted, was first filed on August 1, 2014, and was declared effective by the SEC on October 22, 2014. The Filing Default Damages stopped accruing on the date such registration statement was filed, and the Effectiveness Default Damages stopped accruing on the date it was declared effective.

 

On December 11, 2014, the Company sent a letter to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 (the “2013 Investors”) concerning the first interest payment that was scheduled to be paid pursuant to the Notes dated November 26, 2013 on the one year anniversary of the date that each 2013 Investor submitted payment for their Note (the “First Interest Payments”). The Company invited the 2013 Investors to convert the First Interest Payments into shares of the Company’s common stock to further this purpose. The Company also asked each 2013 Investor to execute an Agreement and Waiver (the “Agreement and Waiver”), which granted the Company a grace period, deferring the Company’s obligation to make payment of the First Interest Payment and interest that was due under the Note through November 26, 2014 (the “Interest Due”) until February 24, 2015 (the “Extension”), during which time such deferment would not be considered an Event of Default under the 2013 Investor’s Note. In return for granting the Extension, the Company offered to capitalize the Interest Due at a rate of 12% (the “Additional Interest”), which was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $0.25 per share as of February 24, 2014, unless the 2013 Investor requested to receive the Additional Interest in cash 15 days prior to the end of the Extension.

 

On January 23, 2015, the Company sent a letter agreement to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 and May 8, 2014, which constituted all Investors with Filing Default Damages or Effectiveness Default Damages due to them pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or May 8, 2014 (the “Agreement to Convert”). The Company invited the Investors, as applicable, to elect to convert the Interest Due and/or the Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share, and asked each Investor, as applicable, to make such election by acknowledging and returning the Agreement to Convert to the Company. In connection with the Agreement and Waiver and Agreement to Convert, the Company issued 1,718,585 shares of its common stock representing $429,646 in Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages during the year ended December 31, 2015. The total accrued unpaid Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $410,633 and $252,335 as of June 30, 2016.

In February 2016, the Company issued an additional 624,606 shares of its common stock as payment for Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages, representing payment to Investors of $156,152. Through June 30, 2016, the Company has issued in total 2,343,191 shares of its common stock representing $585,798 in Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages in connection with the Agreement and Waiver and Agreement to Convert.

 

During 2015, five Investors requested that the Company withhold payments of interest due under their Notes at no cost to the Company, to allow the Company to address working capital needs. Such interest due has been or will be paid to the five Investors.

 

In November 2015, the Company invited the holders of Notes dated November 26, 2013, with respect to outstanding principal and interest due under their respective Notes, to (i) receive payment in cash, (ii) convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, or (iii) forbear an election for three (3) months, or until February 26, 2016, pursuant to a forbearance agreement, during such time interest under their respective Notes would continue to accrue. In February 2016, the Company invited the same holders to extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes for an additional three months, or until May 26, 2016, under the same terms as the first forbearance agreements. In May 2016, the Company invited the holders of all Notes, where such holders had not already made an election to redeem or convert their Notes, to forbear or extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes until July 31, 2016. This also provided a third option to all noteholders, whereby such holders could convert their respective Note(s) into shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

See note 15, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

 

(B)Terms of Debt

 

The debt carries interest between 12% and 15%, and was due in November 2015, May 2016 and June 2016, as extended to July 31, 2016 pursuant to certain forbearance agreements.

 

All Notes and Warrants issued in connection with the Notes Offering are convertible at $0.25 and $0.375 per share, respectively, subject to the existence of a “ratchet feature”, which allows for a lower offering price if the Company offers shares to the public at a lower price.

 

(C)Future Commitments

 

At June 30, 2016, the Company has outstanding convertible debt of $3,574,233, which is payable within the next twelve months.

 

(D)Subsequent Offer to Convert Debt to Preferred Shares

Note 9 Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt and warrants issued in 2013 and 2014. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

 

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the ratchet feature related to convertible debt and warrants is summarized as follow:

 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as:

Note 10 Debt Discount

 

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining fair value of the derivative liability, as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note.

 

Accumulated amortization of derivative discount amounted to $4,205,443 as of June 30, 2016 and $4,153,611 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The Company recorded a change in the value of embedded derivative liabilities income/ (expense) of ($36,757,591) and $362,697 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively and ($34,760,728) and $635,689 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 12 GE Royalty Obligation

 

In 2011, the Company executed a Trademark Licensing Agreement with General Electric, which allows the Company the right to market certain ceiling light and fan fixtures displaying the GE brand. The License Agreement imposes certain manufacturing and quality control conditions that the Company must maintain in order to continue to use the GE brand.

 

The License Agreement is nontransferable and cannot be sublicensed. Various termination clauses are applicable, however, none were applicable as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a second amendment to the License Agreement pertaining to its royalty obligations. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company agreed to pay a total of $12,000,000 by November 2018 for the rights assigned in the original contract. In case the Company does not pay GE a total of at least $12,000,000 in cumulative royalties over the term of the License Agreement, the difference between $12,000,000 and the amount of royalties actually paid to GE is owed in December 2018.

 

Payments are due quarterly based upon the prior quarters’ sales. The Company made payments of $220,483 and $149,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The License Agreement obligation will be paid from sales of GE branded product subject to the following repayment schedule:

 

Net Sales in Contract Year   Percentage of Contract Year Net Sales owed to GE
$0 $50,000,000   7%
$50,000,001 $100,000,000   6%
$100,000,000+   5%

 

The Company has limited operating history and does not have the ability to estimate the sales of GE branded product, the liability is classified as long-term. As sales are recognized, the Company will estimate the portion it expects to pay in the current year and classify as current.

Note 15 Subsequent Events

 

Offer to Convertible Debt Holders

 

By letter to each holder of the Notes, dated July 22, 2016, the Company requested that each holder indicate its election to: (i) redeem its Note; (ii) convert its Note into the Company’s common stock; or (iii) elect to convert its Note into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Option”), in each case by August 15, 2016.

 

For those holders electing the Preferred Option, each holder will receive shares of the Preferred Stock on a 1 to 1 ratio to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which are then convertible under such holder’s respective Note. With respect to interest on junior securities, dividends, distributions or liquidation preference, shares of Preferred Stock will rank senior to shares of the Company’s common stock or other junior securities. Along with other terms customary for a class of convertible preferred stock, the Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the same conversion price as the Notes (i.e., USD $0.25 per share), and will pay interest quarterly at a rate of six percent (6%) per year. The Preferred Stock will be convertible upon the election of the holder thereof. Shares of the Preferred Stock may be repurchased by the Company upon 30 days’ prior written notice, in whole or in part, for USD $3.50 per share, provided that during such notice period the holder will continue to have the option and right to convert its shares of Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders will also have a put option, allowing them to sell their shares of Preferred Stock back to the Company at USD $0.25 per share, the Note conversion price.

 

Each holder electing the Preferred Option has been or will be required to enter into an amendment to its Note, providing that the Note will be convertible into the Preferred Stock rather than the Company’s common stock, and to thereafter elect to convert their Note, as amended, into Preferred Stock. In addition, each holder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement, whereby the holder will agree not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, give, donate, transfer or otherwise dispose of: (i) the shares of the Company’s common stock it then holds; (ii) the shares of Preferred Stock obtained upon conversion of its Note; and (iii) the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Preferred Stock. Elections made by holders are due and the Note amendments, conversion to Preferred Stock and lock-up agreement are being entered into on August 15, 2016, subject to at least a majority of the noteholders of the then-outstanding Notes entering into the Note amendment or otherwise consenting to the Note amendment.

Overview

 

We are a company engaged in the business of developing proprietary technology that enables a quick and safe installation by the use of a weight bearing power plug for electrical fixtures, such as light fixtures and ceiling fans, into ceiling and wall electrical junction boxes. Our patented technology consists of a fixable socket and a revolving plug for conducting electric power and supporting an electrical appliance attached to a wall or ceiling. The socket is comprised of a non-conductive body that houses conductive rings connectable to an electric power supply through terminals in its side exterior. The plug, also comprised of a non-conductive body that houses corresponding conductive rings, attaches to the socket via a male post and is capable of feeding electric power to an appliance. The plug also includes a second structural element allowing it to revolve with a releasable latching which, when engaged, provides a retention force between the socket and the plug to prevent disengagement. The socket and plug can be detached by releasing the latch, disengaging the electric power from the plug. The socket is designed to replace the support bar incorporated in electric junction boxes, and the plug can be installed in light fixtures, ceiling fans and wall sconce fixtures. The combined socket and plug technology is referred to as the “SQL Technology” throughout this prospectus.

We currently manufacture and sell ceiling fans and lighting fixtures branded with the General Electric Corporation (“General Electric” or “GE”) logo and manufactured under GE’s strict guidance, pursuant to a trademark license agreement between us and General Electric (the “License Agreement”). Our ceiling fans and lighting fixtures offer unique designs, and are manufactured with and without the SQL Technology.

 

Also in furtherance of our business model, the Company has actively developed trade distribution channels with key retailers, undergone a corporate restructuring, established and obtained authorizations for our third party manufacturers to produce the SQL Technology, and raised the necessary capital resources to implement our business model over the next twelve months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs and continues to operate with negative cash flow. As a result, the Company has raised additional funds through the sale of its common stock. The Company has also entered into a Line of Credit with a third party which will supply it with $10,000,000 to support its purchase orders, inventory and other working capital needs. As of June 30, 2016 the Company had $7,346,375 available under the Line of Credit. Management believes that with the stock sales consummated and the availability of the working capital Line of Credit, it has sufficient liquidity for the next twelve months.

 

For the six-months ended June 30, 2016, cash flows used $(4,468,756) for operations as compared with $(1,919,798) used for the same period in 2015. The Company’s used cash from operations was due to the $(2,588,564) operating loss, $(1,079,81) increase in accounts receivable, a $(2,175,029) increase in inventory and $(243,869) increase in royalty obligations payable on increased sales pursuant to the License Agreement. These amounts were offset by an increase of $4,963,451 in non-cash derivative expense, $1,217,392 increase in amortization of the License Agreement, and a $474,283 increase in the amortization of debt discount.

 

For the six-months ended June 30, 2016, cash flows used $(30,292) for investing activities as compared with $(20,791) used for the same period in 2015. The difference was due to the purchase of fixed assets and securing patents.

 

For the six-months ended June 30, 2016, cash flows provided $9,110,313 from financing activities as compared to $1,618,499 for the same period in 2015. The Company received proceeds of $7,055,000 from the issuance of shares of common stock, and $2,851,148 in issuance of stock in lieu of principal and interest due under certain convertible promissory notes of the Company, which was offset by $995,835 in principal repayments of certain convertible promissory notes of the Company.

 

As a result of the above operating, investing and financing activities, the Company provided $4,611,265 in cash equivalents for the six-months ended June 30, 2016, as compared with $(322,090) used in the same period in 2015.

 

The Company had a working capital deficit of $(60,994,967) as of June 30, 2016, as compared to $(28,174,512) as of December 31, 2015. The change is primarily attributable to an $40,425,066 increase in derivative liabilities associated with current liabilities due to a rise in the share price from $1.00 per share to $2.65 per share.

 

The Company acquired and is holding $2,438,900 in inventory on its balance sheet at June 30, 2016. This inventory is to support e-commerce activity on internet sales platforms of the Company’s customers. The inventory is located with a third party logistics firm.

 

A majority of the Company’s sales do not require the Company to take delivery of inventory. Production of the SQL Technology and fixtures will be originated upon receipt of FOB (free on board) purchase contracts from customers. Upon the completion of each purchase contract, the finished products will be transported from the manufacturer directly to the ports and loaded on vessels secured by the customer, upon which the products become the property of the customer.

The Company’s cash balance as of June 30, 2016 was $5,062,133. Given the Company’s projected working capital and debt retirement needs, management believes that based on the stock sales consummated and the availability of the working capital line of credit, it has sufficient liquidity for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

For a discussion of our accounting policies and related items, please see the Notes to the Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1.

 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201503, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 83530): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 201503”). ASU 201503 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 201503. ASU 201503 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has reclassified debt issuance costs from prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets as a reduction to debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201511, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 201511”), which applies guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. ASU 201511 states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance excludes inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. ASU 201511 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 201511 and is currently evaluating ASU 201511 to determine the potential impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

 

Inventory

Inventory consist of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method.  The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.  

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-7 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Intangible Asset - Patent

The Company developed a patent for an installation device used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15 year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

Table of Contents

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

·Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under Level 3.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

 

Table of Contents 

38

 
 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, 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 simple 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.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - Employees

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly

price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Table of Contents 

39

 
 

·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
·Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

 

Table of Contents

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
·Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset.

 

This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Income Tax Provision

From the inception of the Company and through November 6, 2012, the Company was taxed as a pass-through entity (a limited liability company) under the Internal Revenue Code and was not subject to federal and state income taxes; accordingly, no provision had been made.

 

The financial statements reflect the Company’s transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes for the period from November 7, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The net loss generated by the Company for the period January 1, 2012 to November 6, 2012 has been excluded from the computation of income taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty (50) percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2012 through 2015.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

 

Related Parties

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (i) affiliates of the Company; (ii) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (iii) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (iv) principal owners of the Company; (v) management of the Company; (vi) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (vii) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2016 (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is also serving as our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC’s”) rules and forms and that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

 

Changes In Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Line of Credit

 

On April 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Promissory Note with a third party (the “Line of Credit”) in the principal sum of up to ten million U.S. Dollars (USD $10,000,000). The Line of Credit provides for monthly payments of interest at eight percent (8%) per annum on outstanding principal, and matures on December 31, 2017, at which time the full principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest become due. In addition to other customary terms, upon an event of default under the Line of Credit, interest will accrue at the lower of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In addition, the Line of Credit may be prepaid without penalty, provided that any prepaid finance charge or loan fees incurred are not subject to refund. The line is being used to fund purchase orders and for working capital purposes.

 

In connection with the Line of Credit, on April 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with the same party (the “Security Agreement”), whereby the Line of Credit is secured by the Company’s inventory, funds, bank accounts, deposit accounts, accounts receivable, instruments, documents, notes, contract rights, chattel paper, and all proceeds derived from the collateral. In addition to other customary terms, the Security Agreement will remain in effect so long as the Line of Credit and obligations thereunder are outstanding. Any default under the Security Agreement is also deemed a default under the Line of Credit.

 

Definitive Information Statement

 

On July 11, 2016, the Company filed a Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C, announcing that on June 8, 2016, a majority of the Company’s shareholders authorized or approved the following actions:

 

·The election of Rani Kohen, Phillips Peter, Thomas J. Ridge, Dov Shiff and Leonard J. Sokolow as directors to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors for a one year term and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified;
·The ratification of the appointment of L&L CPAS, PA, f/k/a Bongiovanni & Associates, PA to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016;
·The approval of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan;
·The filing of an Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and other such actions as may be required, to (i) change the Company’s name to “SQL Technologies Corp.” (the “Name Change”); and (ii) to create and set forth the powers, designations, preferences and rights of a class of convertible preferred stock.

 

 Table of Contents

46

 
 

The foregoing actions became effective as of July 31, 2016. The Company has filed an Articles of Amendment with the Florida Department of State (i) effectuating the Name Change, and (ii) adding a Certificate of Designation to create and to set forth the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation became effective on August 12, 2016.

 

Forbearance and the Preferred Stock Option

 

In November 2015, the Company invited the holders of its Secured Convertible Promissory Notes dated November 26, 2013, with respect to outstanding principal and interest due under their respective Notes, to (i) receive payment in cash, (ii) convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, or (iii) forbear an election for three (3) months, or until February 26, 2016, pursuant to a forbearance agreement, during such time interest under their respective Notes would continue to accrue. In February 2016, the Company invited the same holders to extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes for an additional three months, or until May 26, 2016, under the same terms as the first forbearance agreements.

 

In May 2016, the Company invited the holders of its Secured Convertible Promissory Notes dated November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), where such holders had not already made an election to redeem or convert their Notes, to forbear or extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes until July 31, 2016 (the “May 2016 Forbearance”). The May 2016 Forbearance also provided a third option to all noteholders (the “Preferred Option”), whereby such holders could convert their respective Note(s) into shares of Preferred Stock.

 

By letter to each holder of the Notes, dated July 22, 2016, the Company requested that each holder indicate its election to (i) redeem its Note, (ii) convert its Note into the Company’s common stock or (iii) elect the Preferred Option, in each case by August 15, 2016.

 

For those holders electing the Preferred Option, each holder will receive shares of the Preferred Stock on a 1 to 1 ratio to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which are then convertible under such holder’s respective Note. With respect to interest on junior securities, dividends, distributions or liquidation preference, shares of Preferred Stock will rank senior to shares of the Company’s common stock or other junior securities. Along with other terms customary for a class of convertible preferred stock, the Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the same conversion price as the Notes (i.e., USD $0.25 per share), and will pay interest quarterly at a rate of six percent (6%) per year. The Preferred Stock will be convertible upon the election of the holder thereof. Shares of the Preferred Stock may be repurchased by the Company upon 30 days’ prior written notice, in whole or in part, for USD $3.50 per share, provided that during such notice period the holder will continue to have the option and right to convert its shares of Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders will also have a put option, allowing them to sell their shares of Preferred Stock back to the Company at USD $0.25 per share, the Note conversion price.

 

Table of Contents

Each holder electing the Preferred Option has been or will be required to enter into an amendment to its Note, providing that the Note will be convertible into the Preferred Stock rather than the Company’s common stock (the “Note Amendment”), and to thereafter elect to convert their Note, as amended, into Preferred Stock. In addition, each holder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement, whereby the holder will agree not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, give, donate, transfer or otherwise dispose of (i) the shares of the Company’s common stock it then holds, (ii) the shares of Preferred Stock obtained upon conversion of its Note, and (iii) the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Preferred Stock (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). Elections made by holders are due and the Note Amendments, conversion to Preferred Stock and Lock-Up Agreement are being entered into on August 15, 2016, subject to at least a majority of the noteholders of the then-outstanding Notes entering into the Note Amendment or otherwise consenting to the Note Amendment.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the May 2016 Forbearance Agreement, Note Amendment and Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the May 2016 Forbearance Agreement, Note Amendment and Lock-Up Agreement filed as Exhibits 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 to this Quarterly Report, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

·Mike Perrillo, former CEO from Design Solutions International, Inc., has joined the Company as a full-time consultant to enhance and expand sales objectives, particularly toward construction/builders, hotels and other sales channels that the Company is targeting.
·The Company is enhancing its direction with a new product line called “Smart SQL”, which the Company anticipates to be a significant play for the Company given the opportunities that smart technology and wireless integration offers. The Company believes that the combinations of obtaining code approvals, if obtained, developing “Smart SQL” and current product lines will uniquely position the Company in the marketplace. The Company anticipates providing details about the Company’s “Smart SQL” in the next twelve months.
·The Company has continued to expand its staff and team of engineers to develop the Company’s technology.
·The Company anticipates that it will add between 20 and 30 SKUs by the end of 2016.
·The Company entered the year with projected revenue for 2016 of approximately $10,000,000, and believes it remains on target. The Company noted that any projection is speculative at this time; for example, certain projected sales expansions to big-box retailers were not realized as early as initially projected, but are now being realized and indications suggest the potential for sale to two or three times the number of stores. The Company noted it may or may not be profitable if these projections are met and anticipates that its year end break-even to be between $8,000,000 to $10,000,000. The Company expects to realize profits in 2017.
·Retailers have indicated that the Company’s products are out-performing other competitor’s products who have more advertising, which the Company expects will lead to larger order volumes for the Company. Before the end of the year, the Company anticipates more activity in the advertising arena.
·A majority of sales to date have involved ceiling fan products, and the Company has been aggressively adding lighting products to its portfolio which is less impacted by seasonality. The Company expects to have a greater balance of sales of both products in 2017.
