NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Sunstock, Inc. (“Sunstock” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Sunstock may attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with Sunstock. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that Sunstock will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. Sunstock has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On July 18, 2013, the Company has changed its name from Sandgate Acquisition Corporation to Sunstock, Inc.

On July 18, 2013, Jason Chang and Dr. Ramnik S. Clair were named as the directors of the Company.

On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Dollar Store Services, Inc. to develop, design and build out a retail store which the Company opened in February 2014. The Company opened its second retail store in May 2014. On August 21, 2014 the first store was forced to close due to below code electrical wiring the landlord had provided. Perishable inventory at this store was relocated to the second store as nonperishables were moved into storage along with fixed assets. The Company’s second store was relocated in December of 2015 under lease running through June 2017 and operated on a month to month lease from then until the store was closed in September 2018. The Company currently operates no variety retail stores.

The Company plans to continue purchasing more precious metals in silver and currently searching for a hotel in the Central California are as their previous selection in escrow during the 4^th quarter of 2017 did not close.

On October 22, 2018, Sunstock, Inc. acquired all assets and liabilities of Mom’s Silver Shop, Inc. of Sacramento, California. Included in the assets acquired was approximately $60,000 in precious metals inventory and approximately $13,000 in net fixtures. Also included were any licenses and permits, customer lists, logo, trade names, signs, and websites. Financing of the purchase was by $20,056 cash, $33,000 unsecured note payable with principle payments of $1,000 per week for 33 weeks starting January 1, 2019 with 4.5% annual interest accrued on the unpaid balance (total accrued interest due August 27, 2019), and the assumption of liabilities and lease obligations. Mom’s Silver Shop had unaudited net revenues of approximately $4,800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, $4,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, $3,800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, and $2,500,000 in 2018 to the date of acquisition. Mom’s Silver Shop specializes in buying and selling gold, silver, and rare coins, and is one of the leading precious metals retailers in the greater Sacramento metropolitan area.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Significant estimates made by the Company’s management include realizability and valuation of inventories and value of stock-based transactions.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

INVENTORIES

COLLECTIBLE COINS – MOM’S SILVER SHOP

The Company acquired Mom’s Silver Shop in October 2018 to enter the market for collectible coins. The Company acquires collectible coins from both companies and individuals and then marks them up for resale. The inventory is recorded at lower of cost or market. Inventory can fluctuate in relation to when it is purchased and when it is sold. Inventory was $97,221 at June 30, 2019 compared to $20,647 at December 31, 2018.

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventory quantities on hand and on order and records a provision for excess quantities and obsolescence. Among other factors, the Company considers historical demand and forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence and net realizable value. In addition, the Company considers changes in the market value of components in determining the net realizable value of its inventory. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventories.

PRECIOUS METALS AND COINS HELD FOR INVESTMENT - SUNSTOCK

Inventories also include approximately $371,012 of bullion and bullion coins and are acquired and initially recorded at fair market value. Currently, the Company anticipates holding its precious metals as a long-term investment. Depending on market conditions, the Company anticipates holding its silver holdings until the market price exceeds $50 per ounce. Likewise, the Company does not plan to sell its gold holdings unless the market price exceeds $2,500 per ounce. The fair market value of the bullion and bullion coins is comprised of two components: 1) published market values attributable to the costs of the raw precious metal, and 2) a published premium paid at acquisition of the metal. The premium is attributable to the additional value of the product in its finished goods form and the market value attributable solely to the premium may be readily determined, as it is published by multiple reputable sources. The Company’s inventory is subsequently recorded at fair market values on a quarterly basis. The fair value of the inventory is determined using pricing and data derived from the markets on which the underlying commodities are traded. Precious metals commodities inventories are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

The change in fair value of the precious metals was included in the financial statements herein as recorded on the Company’s Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on investments in precious metals of $12,178 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and an unrealized loss on investments in precious metals of $16,885 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Any leasehold improvements are amortized at the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flow from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value of the related asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance.

The Company’s principal activities from which it generates revenue are product sales. Revenue is measured based on considerations specified in a contract with a customer. A contract exists when it becomes a legally enforceable agreement with a customer. These contracts define each party’s rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Consideration is typically paid at time of sale via credit card, check, or cash when products are sold direct to consumers.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product to the customer, which for the Company is transfer of a product to customers. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company has concluded the sale of product and related shipping and handling are accounted for as the single performance obligation.

The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. We do not issue refunds.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in a contract by transferring control over a product to a customer when product is shipped based on fulfillment by the Company. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of product sales. The Company does not accept returns.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share represent income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result from the assumed issuance. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentially dilutive shares that were included in the diluted loss per share as their effect would have been antidilutive for the years then ended.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, there were 462,046,142 potentially dilutive shares that were included in the diluted earnings per share.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company measures the fair value of certain of its financial assets on a recurring basis. A fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amount of cash and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company has not posted operating income since inception. It has an accumulated deficit of approximately $58,800,000 as of June 30, 2019. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiating with an acquisition target.

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The amendments in the update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer, or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share; Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity; Derivatives and Hedging; Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. An entity will no longer have to consider “down round” features (i.e., a provision in an equity-linked financial instrument or an embedded feature that reduces the exercise price if the entity sells stock for a lower price or issues an equity-linked instrument with a lower exercise price) when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to its own stock. An entity that presents earnings per share (EPS) under ASC 260 will recognize the effect of a down round feature in a freestanding equity-classified financial instrument only when it is triggered. The effect of triggering such a feature will be recognized as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The new guidance will require new disclosures for financial instruments with down round features and other terms that change conversion or exercise prices. The ASU also replaces today’s indefinite deferral of the guidance in ASC 480-10 for certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests with a scope exception. The amendments in Part I of ASU 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, the amendments in Part II do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows; Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The eight issues are: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned insurance policies; distribution received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 addresses that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. When an entity is a principal (that is, if it controls the specific good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer) and satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specific good or service transferred to the customer. When an entity is an agent and satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specific good or service to be provided by the other party. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. This standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. While we are currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the financial statements, we expect the primary impact to the financial position upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of the minimum commitments on the balance sheet under our noncancelable operating lease resulting in the recording of a right of use asset and lease obligation.

The following table summarizes the impact of Topic 842 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet upon adoption on January 1, 2019:

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2,848 and $2,960, respectively.

NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY BALANCES

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company was provided loans totaling $219,000 by the Company’s CEO. The loans bear interest at 6% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2018, $49,750 of the loans were converted into 33,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in a loss from settlement of debt of $840,058. In connection with the acquisition of Mom’s Silver Shop, the Company incurred a $33,000 note payable to the former owner of Mom’s Silver Shop, of which $8,000 is still outstanding at June 30, 2019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Jason Chang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and director, purchased 195,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for at an aggregate of approximately $79,350 in cash and the Company recorded an additional $4,025,650 as stock based compensation based on the closing prices on the grant dates.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company entered into a lease agreement in October 2018 for 1,088 square feet of retail shop space for Mom’s Silver Shop. The lease requires combined monthly payments of base rent and triple net of $1,866 per month for sixty months.

Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the present value of our remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. We do not allocate lease payments to non-lease components; therefore, fixed payments for common area maintenance and administrative services are included in our operating lease right of use assets and liabilities. We use our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of our lease payments, as the implicit rate in our lease is not readily determinable.

As of June 30, 2019, the maturities of our operating lease were as follows for the periods ended June 30:

LITIGATION

On June 18, 2018, Power Up Lending Group, LTD. (“Power Up”), filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York that Sunstock and Jason Chang (president and CFO of Sunstock and board member) and Rammk Clair (board member of Sunstock) materially breached the October 24, 2017, December 19, 2017, and April 16, 2018 notes payable to Power Up by, in June 2018, changing Sunstock’s transfer agent in violation of the Notes and Agreements, and existing letter of instructions and authorizations, refusing to provide a replacement irrevocable letter of instruction from the newly appointed transfer agent and also failing to maintain sufficient reserves of stock so as to permit and accommodate the conversion requests of Power Up to go forward. Power Up has requested judgment against Sunstock for $160,180 with default interest, judgment against Sunstock for reasonable legal fees and costs of litigation, three judgments against Jason Chang and Rammk Clair for $160,180 and interest for each judgment, and a temporary restraining order and a preliminary and permanent injunction directing Sunstock, Jason Chang, and Rammk Clair to take all steps necessary and proper to permit the conversion of debt into stock and to deliver the stock to Power Up.

On June 22, 2018, EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) sent a letter to Sunstock stating that Sunstock was in default on the June 5, 2017 note payable and the October 11, 2017 note payable to EMA. Among other defaults, the letter stated that Sunstock was in default due to refusing to provide a replacement irrevocable letter of instruction from the newly appointed transfer agent and also failing to maintain sufficient reserves of stock. The letter asks for at least $332,884.

On December 26, 2018, EMA filed a lawsuit in Federal Court for breach of contract.

LITIGATION (CONTINUED)

On July 9, 2018, the attorney for Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”) sent a letter to Sunstock stating that Sunstock was in default on the May 24, 2017 note payable and the October 11, 2017 note payable to Auctus. Among other defaults, the letter stated that Sunstock was in default due to changing Sunstock’s transfer agent in violation of the note, and existing letter of instructions and authorizations, refusing to provide a replacement irrevocable letter of instruction from the newly appointed transfer agent and also failing to maintain sufficient reserves of stock so as to permit and accommodate the conversion requests of Auctus to go forward. The letters ask for at least $277,397 regarding the May 24, 2017 note payable and at least $299,247 regarding the October 11, 2017 note payable. On December 26, 2018, AUCTUS filed a lawsuit in Federal Court for breach of contract.

On July 10, 2018, the attorney for Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown Bridge”), sent a letter to Sunstock stating that Sunstock was in default on the December 8, 2017 note payable to Crown Bridge. The letter stated that Sunstock was in default due to changing Sunstock’s transfer agent in violation of the note, and existing letter of instructions and authorizations, refusing to provide a replacement irrevocable letter of instruction from the newly appointed transfer agent and also failing to maintain sufficient reserves of stock so as to permit and accommodate the conversion requests of Crown Bridge to go forward. The letter requested that Sunstock immediately contact Crown Bridge to demonstrate compliance with the note. On August 15, 2018, the attorney for Crown Bridge sent another letter to Sunstock stating that Sunstock owed Crown Bridge $221,470, and that if Sunstock did not respond by August 21, 2018 in regards to payment, then a lawsuit would be filed. No lawsuit has been filed as of June 18, 2019 to the Company’s knowledge.

On March 7, 2019, the United States Court of Massachusetts issued electronic order 38 stating that the Court granted on the merits summary judgement on violation of contract claims for the plaintiffs (Auctus Fund, LLC and EMA Financial, LLC) and found Sunstock in default.

On May 6, 2019, the United States District Court of the District of Massachusetts issued an Order to Show Cause in the case of Auctus Fund, LLC and EMA Financial, LLC Vs. Sunstock, Inc. The Court ordered Auctus to show cause within 21 days why the Court had jurisdiction at the outset of the case and why the Court ought not to vacate its entry of summary judgement for Auctus, EDF No. 38. The Court said that it had taken no action with regard to EMA’s claim. The Company is currently awaiting a further issuance by the Court.

On May 30, 2019, the United States District Court of Massachusetts issued an order in the case of Auctus Fund, LLC vs. Sunstock, Inc. that the Court was satisfied that Auctus compliant raised colorable securities law claims and, accordingly, the Court ruled that it had subject matter jurisdiction to enter summary judgment on Auctus’ contract claims.

On June 20, 2019, Power Up Lending Group filed a motion with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, accepting judgement of $160,180 plus interest on the three notes with the Company. The Company believes that the interest will be that applicable to each note. In addition, Power Up Lending Group included in the motion that the Company establish a reserve of 63,317,183,000 of common shares. The Company believes that Power Up Lending Group is entitled to either $160,180 plus interest or to common shares, but not both. The Company currently has only 888,888,888 authorized common shares and is seeking legal advice on the variance between authorized shares and reserve requested.

INDEMNITIES AND GUARANTEES

The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has agreed to indemnify its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreement. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets.

NOTE 8 - OUTSTANDING DEBT

Convertible notes are as follows as of June 30, 2019:

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company evaluates its debt instruments, or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

The Company applies the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.

From time to time, the Company has issued notes with embedded conversion features. Certain of the embedded conversion features contain price protection or anti-dilution features that result in these instruments being treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company has classified all conversion features as derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2019, and has estimated the fair value of these embedded conversion features using a binomial options pricing model with the following assumptions:

The following table presents the changes in fair value of our embedded conversion features measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Overview

Sunstock, Inc., (“Sunstock”) was incorporated on July 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.

Management intends to develop the Company for the acquisition and operation of hotels and residential properties in the high demand areas of California, particularly Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area. In December 2015, the Company entered into the investment in precious metals as listed on their Balance sheet of December 31, 2017 of $384,981. In September 2013, management developed plans to open and operate two retail stores in Sacramento, California. On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Dollar Store Services, Inc. to develop, design and build out a retail store which the Company began operating in February 2014. Additionally, the Company entered into a lease agreement on October 30, 2013 for 2,239 square feet of retail shop space for this store in Sacramento, California. The lease required monthly payments for rent and maintenance of $3,733 for thirty six months beginning February 2014. In August 2014, the Company was forced to close its original store due to its landlord’s failure to comply with city building codes.

Management opened an additional retail store in Sacramento, California in May of 2014 and entered into a retail shop lease for sixty-seven months beginning May 2014 for approximately 4,756 square feet. The monthly base rent for this location was $4,756, with seven months of free rent throughout the first eleven months. The base rent gradually increased until the term was to expire in 2019. This store was closed in September 2018.

The Company currently operates no retail variety stores.

Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.

In analyzing prospective business opportunities, Sunstock may consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which may be anticipated; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed criteria is not meant to be restrictive of the virtually unlimited discretion of Sunstock to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.

As of June 30, 2019, The Company has not posted operating income since inception. It has an accumulated deficit of approximately ($58,800,000) since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

On October 22, 2018, Sunstock, Inc. acquired all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Mom’s Silver Shop, Inc. of Sacramento, California. Included in the assets acquired was approximately $60,000 in precious metals inventory and approximately $13,000 in net fixtures. Also included were any licenses and permits, customer lists, logo, trade names, signs, and websites. Financing of the purchase was by $20,056 cash, $33,000 unsecured note payable with principle payments of $1,000 per week for 33 weeks starting January 1, 2019 with 4.5% annual interest accrued on the unpaid balance (total accrued interest due August 27, 2019), and the assumption of liabilities and lease obligations. Mom’s Silver Shop had unaudited net revenues of approximately $4,800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, $4,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, $3,800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, and $2,500,000 in 2018 to the date of acquisition. Mom’s Silver Shop specializes in buying and selling gold, silver, and rare coins, and is one of the leading precious metals retailers in the greater Sacramento metropolitan area.

Going Concern

The Company has not posted operating income since inception. It has an accumulated deficit of approximately $58.8 million as of June 30, 2019. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiating with an acquisition target.

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies as previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Results of Operations

Discussion of the Three Months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

The Company generated revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $1,058,818 as compared to $4,120 in revenues posted for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenues is due to Mom’s Silver Shop, which was acquired in October 2018.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, cost of sales were $1,015,491 and $2,471, respectively, which increase was driven by the increase in revenues as disclosed above. Professional fees decreased to $171,700 from $204,249 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $174,057 was due to decreased legal fees, offset by $106,701 in increased consultant fees and $34,919 in increased auditor fees. Compensation increased to $7,524 from $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other operating expenses decreased to $19,772 from $20,218 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest expense decreased to $62,018 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $793,765 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to $659,539 loan default interest expense in 2018. Fair value of derivative liability decreased by $5,378,969 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from an increase by $2,123,803 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The unrealized gain on investments in precious metals of $14,515 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, is related to the increase in the market value of the underlying assets held as of June 30, 2019.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company posted a net profit of $5,175,797 as compared to a net loss of $3,145,289 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Such increase in net income from a net loss is primarily related to decreases in fair value of derivative liability and interest expense.

Discussion of the Six Months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

The Company generated revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $1,926,256 as compared to $11,263 in revenues posted for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenues is due to Mom’s Silver Shop, which was acquired in October 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, cost of sales were $1,829,404 and $6,757, respectively, which increase was driven by the increase in revenues as disclosed above. Professional fees increased to $618,788 from $249,651 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $539,451 was due to increased consultant fees offset by $163,922 less legal fees.. Compensation increased to $4,045,394 from $18,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $4,025,650 was for the fair value of shares purchased by the CEO below market prices. Other operating expenses increased to $51,808 from $42,687 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest expense decreased to $139,114 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $1,030,798 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to $659,539 loan default interest expense in 2018 and $289,530 more debt discount amortization in 2018. Fair value of derivative liability increased by $1,342,529 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a $2,038,058 increase for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company posted a net loss of $6,089,403 as compared to a net loss of $3,391,973 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Such increase is primarily related to increases in fair value of stock issued to our CEO, amortization of stock issued for services, and an increase in the fair value of derivative liability, offset by less interest expense.

The unrealized gain on investments in precious metals of $12,178 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, is related to the increase in the market value of the underlying assets held as of June 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $19,661 in cash and $468,233 in inventory of precious metals and coins compared to $84,439 in cash and $379,781 in inventory at December 31, 2018.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $130,902 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to approximately $305,181 the six months ended June 30, 2018. Consolidated net loss was approximately $6,089,403 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to consolidated net loss of approximately $3,391,973 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Explanation of the difference between these six months of 2019 and 2018 are explained above in the results of operations of the Company.

Changes in the adjustments to reconcile net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, consist primarily of change in fair value of derivative liability, unrealized loss on investment in precious metals, depreciation, penalty expense for notes payable default provisions, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, estimated fair value of common stock issued for cash, and common stock issued for services.

Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs was approximately $5,889 and $278,728, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Pursuant to Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules. This evaluation was done as of the end of the fiscal year under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (who is also the principal financial officer). There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, he believes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The principal executive officer is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company.

Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s officer, its president, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 based on the criteria establish in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2019, based on those criteria. A control system can provide only reasonably, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.

Material Weaknesses:

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses identified are:

1. Inadequate number of personnel that could accurately and timely record and report the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP;

2. We did not employ an adequate number of people to ensure a control environment that would allow for the accurate and timely reporting of the financial statements.

3. Ineffective controls to ensure that the accounting for transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP financial statements;

4. We have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives.

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we believe that the financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present, in all material respects, our financial condition in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Further, we do not believe the material weaknesses identified had an impact on prior financial statements.

Remediation:

As part of our ongoing remedial efforts, we have and will continue to, among other things:

1. Expanded our accounting policy and controls organization by recently hiring qualified accounting and finance personnel;

2. Increase our efforts to educate both our existing and expanded accounting policy and control organization on the application of the internal control structure;

3. Emphasize with management the importance of our internal control structure;

4. Seek outside consulting services where our existing accounting policy and control organization believes the complexity of the existing exceeds our internal capabilities; and

5. Plan to implement improved accounting systems.

We believe that the foregoing actions will improve our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures. We intend to perform such procedures and commit such resources as necessary to continue to allow us to overcome or mitigate these material weaknesses such that we can make timely and accurate quarterly and annual financial filings until those material weaknesses are fully addressed and remediated.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during its current fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
