Item 1. BUSINESS
Our Business

The Company was organized to engage in Direct Response marketing that has the ability to take a product from the drawing board to the ultimate consumer via sales through television, Internet and retail.

Plan of Operations
Insynergy Products (Insynergy) is a company with deep experience in commercializing consumer products. Beyond developing products, a core competency is commercial and infomercial production development combined with specific expertise in traditional and digital media acquisition. The foundation of Insynergy and the continued corporate goal is to develop intellectual property (IP) internally or via a license from a third party. The path to monetization and value creation is realized as the Company then exploits our growing distribution footprint. Beyond the goal of extensive profitability, the intent is to engineer sustained and long term value by building the portfolio of IP inclusive of products and brands. The Board of Directors is cognizant of the Companys stage, size, limitations, attributes short and long term goals. Ultimately the Company envisions a healthy organic growth path coupled by strategic acquisitions. This will lead the Company to an upgrade onto a primary securities exchange by 2018. Insynergy has a keen eye for strategic acquisitions and has identified certain takeover targets that the Company expects to start to capitalize on in 2017.
The Companys commercialization path intently depends on identifying a novel product(s). Once found, a series of due diligence steps are taken ensuring the products success. From technology to marketing to feasibility, the product as a whole is intently examined. The Company consistently and with discipline follows a SWOT Analysis in understanding a product from a 360 vantage point that sets the stage for sound and low risk commercialization inferences. SWOT is the analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Everything from patent and trademark searches to liability analysis to broad retail shelf sweeps are undertaken until the Board of Directors approves a product as a candidate for launch. Then a series of intimate customer engagements begins. From focus groups to trial runs to engagement with corporate buyers for their privileged views, this all provides a level of insight that strategically positions Insynergy as a unique and formative player in the consumer products industry.
2
Insynergy today has established vendor numbers with key retailors across the nation, including Home Depot, Walgreens, Kroger, and Dollar General, to name a few, all due to our first products success Plumbers Hero www.plumbershero.com.
This unique drain clearing aerosol product was launched in the first quarter of 2015 in an expedited fashion in order to accomplish a few key tactical goals being revenue growth, vendor number acquisition and brand development. Due to our CEOs past experience, commercializing Plumbers Hero was a quick process. With a cumulative media spend over the first three quarters of approximately $500,000 not only was national retail distribution gained but total gross revenues topped $1.5M in under eight months. The project was designed as a short term run with a critical start and stop time line. This provided enough market inertia to not only generate sales and brand development but it positioned the Company to gain retail vendor numbers and shelf space. Due to the media and direct to consumer response the strategy to then pull the product through retail was a comprehensive success. The nature of this project was to commercialize, market and distribute via Direct Response TV and retail with the understanding the product will not have long term shelf stability as the goal was not to reinvest in media. A quick controlled investment with specific and measured goals. As this product had a relatively low cost to commercialize, the Company desired a big splash, easy consumer acceptance, DR sales, vendor numbers, shelf space and retail sales that now set the stage for our future, which includes a remarkable and broad portfolio of recently acquired IP.
In the third quarter of 2015, we struck a land mark license deal with Mr. Ross Sklar of The Starco Group. Insynergy secured the exclusive license to a broad body of novel products and technologies in the following categories:
-
Consumer Food
-
Cosmetic
-
OTC Personal Care
-
House hold cleaning
-
Hardware, Automotive
-
Pet Care
-
Seasonal
-
Arts & Crafts
The products in the aforementioned categories will fill our pipeline until 2025.
The significance of the license agreement is that it enables the Company access to cutting edge products that span multiple categories. This allows Insynergy the ability to focus on our core competencies in branding, media production/buying and distribution. With the ground work done in this first year Insynergy has opened retail channels with many of the major retail accounts and will commercialize unique IP while strategically marketing and placing our products into their distribution.
Mr. Sklar currently oversees a very broad manufacturing infrastructure that produces products in the aforementioned categories. This adds a portfolio of leading-edge IP that not only vertically integrates Insynergys research and development efforts but it completely builds out our product pipeline for years to come. It is our belief that no one in the space has our technological depth. While there are competitive players in Insynergys DRTV/retail vertical, the resources and depth Insynergy now has positions the Company to take a dominating role over the next five years.
In 2015 the Company had a busy and successful year. To top things off we secured and fulfilled a very large order from a big box leader, totaling over $350,000.
2015 has been a wonderful developmental year for Insynergy, while we have experienced some recent cash flow rigidity the Company is well structured with very low overhead. In the following months we will be announcing further strategic corporate joint ventures involving a shopping channel combined with cross category product launches and management is thrilled to execute on our strategic plan in 2016 and beyond.
Direct Response Marketing
Direct Response Marketing generally takes the form of the marketing and sale of products utilizing infomercials which are broadcast over local television channels, paired with a Call Response Center which takes the calls generated by potential purchasers who call in after viewing the infomercial, and a fulfillment center, which ships out the product.
The infomercial is designed to solicit a direct response in the target audience which is specific and quantifiable. The delivery of the response is directly between the viewer and the advertiser, that is, the customer responds to the marketer or its agent directly. In direct marketing (such as telemarketing), there is no intermediary broadcast media involved. In Direct Response Marketing, marketers use broadcast media to encourage customers to contact them directly. This direct response marketing seeks to elicit action. Marketing results from a Direct Response Marketing Program can be tracked, measured, and quantified.
3
Direct Response Marketing is characterized by:
·
An offer of a specific product or combination of products
·
Sufficient information for the consumer to make a decision whether to act and buy
·
An explicit call to action
·
Provision of a means for buy response (typically multiple options such as toll free number, web page, and email)
Direct Response Marketing Products
Direct Response Marketing is often used for new and innovative products that can be demonstrated and shown to make life easier or better, or products which solve a specific problem the target audience may have.
Health and fitness products, skin, hair and personal care products, nutritional supplements, house wares and appliances, have all been successfully marketed. Anti-aging products are a category of product which is currently generating successful sales. An idea for a new product usually comes from an inventor, who then approaches a company such as ours for development and implementation of a Direct Marketing Program or campaign for the product.
Our Company selects products invented by others for use in a Direct Response Marketing Program, but we also develop our own products for sale as well. We will analyze each product presented to us to see if it looks like it would be an attractive candidate for a direct marketing campaign. We will look for products which satisfy a specific need that can be concretely presented in the infomercial, lend themselves to generation of a call for action motivation in the target audience, provide for a substantial markup on the sales price over their cost (typically somewhere in the realm of a 5 to 1 markup), have a lower range target price in order to encourage immediate discretionary purchase, and have anticipated staying power as a useful product which the Company can sell over and over again.
We will license products from the inventor or owner of the product, with license fees paid on collected revenue from the sales of the product, net of returns and allowances. Typical license fees run between 2% and 4% of net sales for sales generated over television and the web, and if the Company is able to then take the product for distribution to traditional brick and mortar outlets for further sales, an increased license fee of between 4% and 6% is typically paid. The license rights typically run for between 24 and 36 months, and are generally renewable. Products may or may not have patent protection, copyright protection, and/or trademark protection.
The Company is developing products that will be marketed in many different areas. This will be a completely different type of branding. Social media will be a key factor to making consumers aware of new and great retail brands. This special type of advertising will bring consumers into the stores and create a special awareness of new and exciting products.
Products to Be Marketed
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company centered its efforts on Plumbers Hero, a product that clears normal clogs in the shower, tub, kitchen sink, bathroom sink and toilet.
Our exclusive License Agreement gives us worldwide rights to advertise, promote, market, manufacture, distribute, sell and/or exploit the product in any and all media, means and markets and all channels of trade and distribution now known or hereafter devised.
The Plumbers Hero kit comes with a canister containing twenty applications of the Plumbers Hero formula, one large and one small rubber drain cover to work on kitchen sinks, including double sinks with a disposal, bathroom, shower and tub drains, as well as an extension handle for use in the toilet.
Two minute, one minute and thirty second commercials were shot and the marketing campaign ran throughout 2015.
Production of Infomercials
Demonstrating the appeal and uniqueness of the product in a sales video infomercial is critical in creating a buying response.
4
An offer must be presented in the video such that its appeal is relevant to the wants or needs of the audience.
Short form direct response video commercials have time lengths ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Long form infomercials are 30 minutes in length. Direct Response ads can be contrasted with normal television commercials because traditional commercials normally do not solicit a direct immediate response from the viewer, but instead try to brand their product in the market place.
The typical direct response spot of two minutes consists of a spokesperson or dominant voice over footage showing the product being demonstrated, solving a problem and/or making life easier and better. An 800 phone number will be shown on screen a few seconds into the spot along with a website address. The last few seconds of the spot will show a blue screen with all the information to make a purchase and provide a call to action.
The Company writes, produces, hires the talent, directs, shoots and edits many of its infomercials in-house. The Company will also hire outside production companies who have had success shooting shows with products in the same genre as the products we will be releasing such as fitness, house wares and hair care.
Test Marketing
We test all our products with a retail sales group before we execute a license agreement, in order to gauge the likely reaction in the market place. Once a license agreement is executed, we will typically create the video, and then spend small amounts of money on media air time over test stations and test air segments that have what management considers the right demographics for a particular product. If a product successfully generates sales in these test spots, we will then expand the campaign for the product over additional TV markets. During the test marketing stage we also tweak the video infomercial as to dialogue, and as to order of presentment of material.
Purchasing of Air Time
The products and demographics will dictate which TV market management selects for a particular campaign. We expect most of our spots to run approximately 2 minutes. The cost per spot will depend on which market it is show in, and at what time the spot airs. We may also use radio and/or direct mailing campaigns, and will provide a website over which a product can be purchased.
Telephone Marketing Functions
Once a customer has decided to buy our product, they either call an 800 phone number or go to a website to conclude the purchase. In todays marketing climate, order taking for many products sold under $20 is done by an interactive voice recognition telephone application (IVR) which electronically takes the customers name and address, phone number, credit card information and orders for products. Order information will be in a file format to be batched and sent daily to a fulfillment facility.
Using the IVR application is perhaps half the cost of using live agents to respond to calls, but for some products with higher price points, live sales agents provided by independent third party contractors will be used.
The Company will subcontract out to independent third parties the telephone marketing functions associated with a campaign for each product. Initially, the Company has contracted for Teleperformance (Teleperformance) to provide this function, although many other companies are available to undertake this roll at competitive pricing, and the Company may use others in the future.
Manufacture of Products
The Company will out-source the manufacture of products it markets to independent third party companies. The Company has had discussions with several mainland China manufacturers, for the manufacture of products. Unless presented with a Letter of Credit, a mainland China manufacturer generally requires 30% as down payment to begin manufacturing and the balance when the product is ready to ship. Management believes there are many sources for manufacturing in China, and elsewhere offshore, which are generally dependable and reasonably priced. However, the product, Plumbers Hero, is 100% manufactured in the United States.
5
Fulfillment of Orders
Fulfillment involves the storage of inventory, acceptance of order information, boxing and shipping out of products, and dealing with questions, order status, complaints, returns and allowances on products, and maintaining proper records. The fulfillment function on each product will be sub-contracted out to independent third party companies.
Initially, the Company has contracted for Moulton Logistics to provide this function, although many other companies are available to undertake this role at competitive prices, and the Company may use others in the future.
Credit Card Transactions
Sales orders for Direct Response Marketing Programs are typically taken using credit cards. The Company has contracted for credit card processing of sales orders on products with BluePay, an independent third party company. BluePay powers payment processing for companies that sell direct to consumers through internet retail, online services, direct response marketing and multichannel retail.
Product Campaign Failure
Some of our future Direct Response Marketing Campaigns will no doubt fail. Direct response products can fail due to many reasons, including no perceived need for the product, other competing products provide better solutions or are better priced, the product price is too high, the infomercial is unconvincing, the wrong time slot or market segment is selected for broadcast, the marketing company lacks sufficient capital to fund product inventory and air time purchase, and for a variety of other reasons. Larger trends, such as a recessionary economy, less discretionary purchasing power in the hands of consumers, more restrictive credit or higher rates on credit cards, also can discourage sales and cause a campaign to fail. Other issues can also cause a campaign to fail, such as too low a price markup, poor quality resulting in high returns, a lack of sufficient capital to purchase sufficient airtime, or to purchase sufficient inventory, or failure by third party contractors to properly carry out their responsibilities for manufacturer, order taking, and fulfillment.
Management will endeavor to avoid these pitfalls in selection of a product, production of the TV spot, test marketing, purchasing of air time, and other aspects of running of the campaign, but there are significant risks in conducting a direct response marketing business, and we will no doubt have some product failures which will result in loss, while other products may barely breakeven and return the costs laid out to undertake product production and the campaign.
Transition from Direct Response Marketing to Brick and Mortar Distribution
If a product is financially successful in our direct marketing response campaign, management will consider marketing and distributing the product to big box retail stores, building off the product branding that has occurred by running the television campaign.
Competition
There is significant competition in the Direct Response Marketing industry from both small and large companies since there are really no barriers to entry. As a result, there are literally hundreds of direct response companies that operate in the U.S. and offer a wide variety of products across all categories of consumer goods.
The Company will have to rely on the skills of its management to pick products which produce successful direct response marketing campaigns and ultimately profits to the Company.
Insurance
The Company carries general liability insurance through CNA with an occurrence limit of $1,000,000 with a general aggregate of $2,000,000 and a deductible of $500. The Company also carries product liability insurance to insure against liability on the products it sells.
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights
The Company may file registrations for such patents, trademarks, or copyrights, as it deems commercially prudent from time to time.
6
Government Regulation
Our infomercials may be subject to regulation by the FTC and each of the states under general consumer protection statutes prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts and practices. Most deception involves written or oral misrepresentations, or omissions of material information. Deception may also occur in other forms of conduct associated with a sales transaction.
Employees
The Company has two full-time employees, but will use independent contractors when we shoot our direct response marketing TV spots.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our shares are subject to Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the penny stock rule. The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse, and certain institutional investors. The rules require the broker-dealer to receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase and require the broker-dealer to deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock prior to the first transaction. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to customers disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks.
Holders
As of March 25, 2016, we had 166 shareholders of record, which does not include shareholders who hold shares in street accounts of securities brokers.
Dividends
We have not paid cash or stock dividends and have no present plan to pay any dividends, intending instead to reinvest our earnings, if any. For the foreseeable future, we expect to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business and the payment of any cash dividends on our common stock is unlikely.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
Issuer Purchase of Securities
The Company did not repurchase any of its securities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The registrant is a smaller reporting company, pursuant to Rule 229.10(f)(1), and is not required to report this information.
Item 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014
The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company recorded revenue, net of sales returns, of $2,069,285 compared to $49,077 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Cost of goods sold was $1,118,378 compared to $15,545 in the prior period. Revenue in the current year was offset by $165,138, resulting in net revenue for the year ended of $2,069,285. This offset was a reduction to our accounts receivable as a result of a mark down program for the Plumbers Hero at two major retailers. We experienced a decrease in revenue in the latter part of the year largely due to amount and timing of sales to two of our retailers. Both vendors made large initial purchases in the first quarter providing them with enough inventory through the third and fourth quarters so that they have not yet had to order additional product. In addition, initial orders from new retailers have been more conservative as they introduce the Plumbers Hero to their customers.
8
We introduced the Plumbers Hero to the retail market with great success in the first quarter of 2015. In the second quarter we saw an increase in our cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales. A portion of this was the result of the cost and sale price for the Plumbers Hero packaged specifically for one of our retail accounts. For this particular item the cost is approximately 10% more of the sale price than for other retailers. We also determined that it was in our best interest to no longer pursue the marketing and production of two of our products. The remaining inventory for these products has been donated to charity. As a result, we recognized impairment expense of $42,232.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2015, compensation expense increased $32,428 to $253,272 compared to $220,844 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase is due to increasing the yearly salary for two of our officers.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred $584,061 in advertising and promotional expense as compared to $152,831 for the prior year, an increase of $431,230, or 282%. The increase is primarily due to spending on promotional activities for the Plumbers Hero including infomercial production.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred $103,871 in professional fees compared to $89,528 in the prior year, an increase of $14,343 or 16%. Professional fees are mainly for accounting, auditing and legal services associated with our quarterly filings as a public company.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred $902,732 in general and administrative expense as compared to $857,795 for the prior year, an increase of $44,937, or 5%.
On August 13, 2015, the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent with a third party whereby the Company will acquire the license rights to a series of products. Per the terms of the Letter of Intent, and the Warrant Agreement dated September 15, 2015, the Company issued 35 million warrants to the third party to purchase common stock. The aggregate fair value of the warrants totaled $6,501,715 which has been recorded as licensing expense.
Other income and expense
For the year ended December 31, 2015 we had total other expense of $257,241 compared to $436,811 for the year ended December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest expense of $23,184, a loss on disposal of fixed assets of $17,034 and a loss on conversion of debt of $226,811. In addition, as a result of the convertible Promissory Note with KBM Worldwide, Inc. we recorded amortization of debt discount of $50,029, a gain on settlement of debt of $62,859, and a gain on derivative of $3,042. In the prior year we recognized a loss on the conversion of debt of $424,119.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a net loss of $7,651,985 as compared to a net loss of $1,724,277 in the prior year, an increase of $5,927,708. The increase is the direct result of licensing expense incurred as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $14,069,367 at December 31, 2015, had a net loss of $7,651,985 and net cash used in operating activities of $620,092 for year ended December 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
While we are attempting to increase operations and revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support the Companys daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of debt and equity financing. We believe that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate increased revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. At present we are working on the development of four new products followed closely by others. Through a Licensing Agreement we have multiple products available in the areas of personal care, household cleaning/laundry, hardware, automotive, pet care and foods. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate increased revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to further implement its business plan and generate increased revenues.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash used by investing activities was $0 compared to $59,954 for the prior year. Investing activity in the prior year was for the purchase of fixed assets. No new fixed assets have been purchased in the current year.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $660,381 compared to $598,873 for the year ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we received $776,199 from the issuance of notes payable to third parties.
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was significantly increased as a result of non-cash expense transactions. Taking into account these non-cash transactions the reconciled net loss would be $740,035. The table below is not a GAAP presentation of the financial statements and is presented only to show the reconciled net loss.

Obligations and Commitments
On July 9, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an investment arrangement with a third party individual. Per the terms of the agreement the investor has transferred $150,000 to the Company for which he is now entitled to the following: $1 per unit sold through all retail outlets including online and retail shopping shows until the investment is paid back in full. Once the original investment is recouped the investor shall then receive a 2% royalty in perpetuity on all future retail sales of our patented fitness product. As of December 31, 2015, no units of the applicable product have been sold. The investment remains with the Company and is disclosed as an accrued liability on the balance sheet.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company received short term loans from three creditors for a total of $354,000. The loans are uncollateralized, non-interest bearing and are due on demand.
The Company also has financing loans for its product liability and Director and Officer Insurance. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the loans have a balance of $16,671 and $7,442, respectively, they bear interest at 5.99% and 6.7% and are due within one year.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements.
10
We are subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.
We recognize deferred tax assets (future tax benefits) and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax return consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Future tax benefits have been fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance as management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-15 on Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entitys ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of managements plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of managements plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Insynergy Products, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Insynergy Products, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Insynergy Products, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations since inception and its current cash flow is not enough to meet current needs. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regards to this matter are also described in Note 13. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INSYNERGY PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Insynergy Products, Inc. (formerly Insynergy, Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 26, 2010 to engage in Direct Response marketing that has the ability to take a product from the drawing board to the consumer via sales through television and/or retail.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.
Accounts Receivable
Revenues that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized to reduce the amount of receivables to its net realizable value. The allowance for uncollectible amounts is evaluated quarterly.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Paragraph 820-10-35-37) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
19
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amount of the Companys financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Companys notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon managements best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2015.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. All fixed assets with a cost of $2,000 or greater are capitalized. Major betterments that extend the useful lives of assets are also capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three years.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Income taxes
The Company follows 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 fiscal 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 fiscal 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 Statements of Income 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) with regards to uncertainty income taxes. 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 percent (50%) 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 Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based
20
Payments to Non-Employees (ASC 505-50). ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.
We account for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, CompensationStock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.
The Companys diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 advertising costs were $584,061 and $152,831, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-15 on Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entitys ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of managements plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of managements plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 11 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 41,500 shares of common stock for services to service providers. The shares were valued at $0.317 per share for a total non-cash expense of $13,156. Fair market value for the shares was determined by taking the average share price for each cash-for-stock purchase in the prior period.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company converted loans due to a creditor totaling $298,000 into 1,655,555 shares of common stock. The shares were valued at $0.317 which was determined using the average of the most recent stock sales for cash.
NOTE 12 INCOME TAX
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31:
|

Deferred Tax Assets: |

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the period ended December 31, due to the following:

At December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,919,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2016 to 2035. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2015 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal Income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE 13 GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $14,069,367 at December 31, 2015, had a net loss of $7,651,985 and net cash used in operating activities of $620,092 for year ended December 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
While the Company is attempting to increase operations and revenues, the Companys cash position may not be significant enough to support the Companys daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of debt and equity financing. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate increased revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate increased revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to further implement its business plan and generate increased revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 855, from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statement were issued, and has determined that no material subsequent events exist.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer who also acts as our principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The disclosure controls and procedures ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible to design or supervise a process that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies and procedures include:
•
maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
•
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and
•
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal year December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective at that reasonable assurance level. The following aspects of the Company were noted as potential material weaknesses:
·
timely and accurate reconciliation of accounts
·
lack of timely document preparation
·
lack of segregation of duties
·
complex accounting transaction expertise
·
lack of corporate documentation
27
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management has determined that there were no changes made in the implementation of our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2015.
Attestation Report of Independent Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because as a smaller reporting company we are not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.

(1) | Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
(2) | Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
(3) | Being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |
(4) | Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. Officers, directors and ten-percent or greater beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based upon a review of those forms and representations regarding the need for filing for the year ended December 31, 2015, we believe Sanford Lang filed late one Form 4 related to one transaction; Martin Goldrod filed late two Forms 4 each related to one transaction; Rachel Boulds filed late one Form 4 related to one transaction and Ross Sklar filed late one Form 3.
