1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

TripBorn, Inc. (“TripBorn” or the “Company”) is an eCommerce aggregator and a hospitality management company. An aggregator model is a form of eCommerce whereby our website, www.tripborn.com aggregates information from various travel and hospitality vendors and presents them to users on a single platform, to ease, facilitate, coordinate and effectuate consumer travel and hospitality needs. Our eCommerce Aggregator business segment operates through Sunalpha Green Technologies Private Limited (“Sunalpha”), a wholly owned subsidiary. Our hospitality business segment is comprised of our 51% equity interest in our subsidiary PRAMA Hotels and Resorts Private Limited (“PRAMA”), which was acquired on April 22, 2019, for aggregate consideration of $2,137,143. All of the Company’s net revenues are derived from operations in India.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company; its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunalpha; its 51% owned subsidiary, PRAMA and an equity investee, PRAMA Canary Wharf Private Limited (“PCW”). Through PRAMA, the Company has a 29.575% equity interest in PCW, a non-trading company formed to develop a potential hotel in Bengaluru, India. The Company exercises significant influence over PCW but does not control the investee and the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities. PCW is accounted for using the equity method. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Acquisitions

 

On April 22, 2019 the Company acquired a 51% equity interest in PRAMA for $2,137,143, consisting of $1,400,000 in cash and the issuance of 2,632,653 shares of common stock valued at $737,143.

 

The Company has made acquisitions at prices above the determined fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill due to the Company’s expectations of the synergies that will be realized by combining the businesses. These synergies include access to PRAMA’s hotel brands, customers and operations; use of the Company’s existing technology to expand sales of the acquired businesses; new operational and financial efficiencies of the acquired businesses to expand sales cost effectively for both business segments. Acquisitions will be accounted for by using the purchase method of accounting, and the acquired company’s results will be included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. Acquisition transaction costs have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred.

 

The acquisition of PRAMA was treated as a business combination under U.S. GAAP. During the first quarter, we estimated the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair value assessments. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary pending the completion of various analyses and the finalization of estimates. During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, additional assets or liabilities may be recognized if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The preliminary allocation may be adjusted after obtaining additional information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates, and these adjustments may be significant.

The Company recognized $1,693,738 in revenue and $276,512 in net loss before income taxes of the acquiree in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the period April 22, 2019 through June 30, 2019.  The revenue and net loss before taxes for the combined entity for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as though the acquisition of PRAMA had occurred on April 1, 2019 was $2,259,644, and $674,729, respectively.  The revenue and net loss before taxes for the combined entity for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as though the acquisition of PRAMA had occurred on April 1, 2018 was $2,096,250, and $422,597, respectively.  There were no material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the PRAMA acquisition, which were reported in the pro forma revenue and statement of operations or the consolidated condensed statement of operations. 

 

2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has incurred net losses from operations since inception. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $562,755 and the accumulated deficit was $4,782,894 as of June 30, 2019. The Company’s ongoing losses have had a significant negative impact on the Company’s financial position and liquidity.

 

The Company’s cash requirements are primarily to fund operating losses, working capital, capital expenditures and the completion of acquisitions. Historically, the Company has met these cash needs by borrowings under notes, sales of shares and warrants and the cash balances acquired from subsidiary acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to borrow or sell securities in the future, which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial conditions. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the continuous enhancement of the current products and services; marketing its new services; continuing to invest in new technologies; changes in domestic and foreign regulations; the price of, and demand for, the Company’s products and services and its ability to raise the capital to support its operations.

 

The Company’s directors are confident that the Company will be able to issue new shares (see Subsequent Events note below), and extend the maturity date on its convertible notes which will provide the Company with sufficient funding to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. However, in the event that the Company is not able to successfully complete the fundraising and extension referred to above, significant uncertainty would exist as to whether the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as going concerns and, therefore, whether they will realize their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. We have condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. “GAAP”. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent period.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.

 

As a result of the acquisition of PRAMA, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company made a change to its segment reporting structure which resulted in two segments 1) eCommerce Aggregator and 2) Hospitality. As a result, certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation, that is they have been classified as relating to the eCommerce Aggregator business. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total net revenues, cost of revenues and other operating expenses, other expenses, net and net loss. Otherwise, we have not reclassified other prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunalpha and its subsidiary, PRAMA which the Company owns a 51% equity interest in. PRAMA was acquired on April 22, 2019. Through PRAMA, the Company has a 29.575% equity interest in PCW, which is accounted for under the equity method. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

 

Our significant estimates include elements of revenue recognition, the application of fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation on the acquisition of PRAMA, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, costs to be capitalized as well as the useful life of capitalized software and income taxes. The use of different estimates or assumptions in determining the fair value of our goodwill, indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets may result in different values for these assets, which could result in an impairment or, in the period in which an impairment is recognized, could result in an impairment charge. The Company has not recognized an impairment charge for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”): Topic 606 which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others. Topic 606 also provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts.

 

Topic 606 was effective as of April 1, 2018, for the Company, using either of two methods: (1) retrospective application of Topic 606 to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Topic 606 or (2) retrospective application of Topic 606 with the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per Topic 606. We adopted Topic 606 pursuant to the method (2) and we determined that any cumulative effect for the initial application did not require an adjustment to accumulated deficit at April 1, 2018.

 

For revenue recognition arrangements that we determine are within the scope of Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we evaluate the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

The following is a description of the Company’s principal activities, separated by reportable segments, from which the Company generates its revenue.

 

eCommerce Aggregator revenues:

 

Air, Rail and Bus Ticketing. Recognized on a net commission basis upon transfer of control of promised services in an amount which we are entitled to in exchange for the service.

 

Vacation Packages. Recognized on a gross basis, upon transfer of control of promised services in an amount which we are entitled to in exchange for the service.

 

Other Revenue. Primarily comprising visa processing fees, money transfer, and pre-and post-paid expenses are recognized after the services are performed.

 

Hospitality Revenues:

 

Hospitality Services.

 

·Room revenue: Revenue from hotel operations where customers book rooms and banquets/conference rooms is recognized based on the period for which the customer completes the transaction (i.e. the stayed night occurs or a deposit cancellation provision elapses). Payment is typically received upon check-out. For room revenue, the Company recognizes revenue over time.

 

·Food & beverages revenue: The Company provides food and beverages that customer consumes as they are provided. The performance obligation is satisfied at point in time. The Company recognizes revenue at the time of sale only.

 

·Management Fees from Operation & Maintenance Properties: Revenue under management contracts is recognized on the attainment of certain financial results, primarily operating earnings, as specified in each contract. Management fees are typically billed and paid monthly. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress and provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to the customer as the value transferred to the customer is substantially the same over time. Fees are variable with the uncertainty of base fees being resolved monthly and the uncertainty of incentive fees being resolved annually. These fees are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved.

 

Practical expedients. The Company has elected certain of the optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue. Accordingly, the Company applies the practical expedient to its management fees from contracts with Operation & Maintenance Properties. These contracts are typically long-term, and the performance obligation consists of providing hotel management services to the owner. Revenue is recognized based upon an agreed base fee and additional revenue is recognized on the attainment of certain financial results, primarily operating earnings, as specified in each contract. As such, fees are variable with the uncertainty of base fees being resolved monthly and the uncertainty of incentive fees being resolved annually. These fees are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose revenue related to remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less, and to not consider the effects of significant financing components in the transaction price when the duration of financing is one year or less.

 

The Company has elected certain of the optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for the remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenue is the amount paid or accrued against procurement of these services and products from the respective suppliers and do not include any other operating cost to provide these services or products. Cost of revenue is recognized when incurred, which coincides with the recognition of the corresponding revenue.

 

 13 
 

 

Other operating expenses

 

Other operating expenses includes Selling, general and administrative expenses, Legal and consulting expenses and Depreciation and amortization.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses include, direct operating expenses, general and administrative expenses such as business promotion costs, utilities, rent, payroll, which are recognized on an accrual basis.

 

Legal and consulting expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

 

Depreciation and amortization costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts in the U.S. and India, which at times may not be covered by, or exceed the coverage limit of the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation of India. The Company does not believe that this results in significant credit risk. As of June 30, 2019, and 2018, the cash balance in financial institutions in India was $859,189 and $360,210, respectively.

 

Receivables and Credit Policies

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, as a charge to bad debt expense, where collection is considered to be doubtful due to credit issues. These allowances together reflect the Company's estimate of potential losses inherent in accounts receivable balances, based on historical loss and known factors impacting its customers. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

The Company performs periodic analyses of each customer’s outstanding accounts receivable balance and assesses, on an account-by-account basis, whether the allowance for doubtful accounts needs to be adjusted based on currently available evidence such as historical collection experience, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. In accordance with the Company’s policy, if collection efforts have been pursued and all reasonable and contractually available avenues for collections exhausted, accounts receivable would be written off as uncollectible.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company charges repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the assets to expenses as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives consist exclusively of trademarks and are tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or indicators of impairment occur between annual impairment tests. Management expects to use the trademarks indefinitely.

 

Intangible assets that have limited useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful or legal lives. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

The fair value of the trade names is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the relief-from-royalty approach.  The relief-from-royalty approach is an income approach that utilizes certain market information by reference to the amount of royalty income we could generate if the trade names were licensed, in an arm’s length transaction, to a third party.  Based on a comparison of our trade names to the guideline transactions, including an assessment of industry conditions, the age of the trademark/trade name, degree of consumer recognition and life cycle of the brand, a reasonable royalty rate is estimated for the trade names. The principal factors used in the discounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment are the projected net sales, discount rate, royalty rate and terminal value assumptions.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is assigned to our reporting units based on the expected benefit from the synergies arising from each business combination, determined by using certain financial metrics. The reporting units are aligned with our reporting segments. Goodwill is not amortized, but the Company tests goodwill for impairment each year or more frequently should facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. As part of the impairment test, we may elect to perform an assessment of qualitative factors. If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount, or if we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment, we would then proceed with a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment involves calculating an estimated fair value of each reporting unit based on projected future cash flows and comparing the estimated fair values of the reporting units to their carrying amounts, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, including goodwill, no impairment is recognized. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, limited to the total goodwill balance of the reporting unit. We have not recognized any impairment on goodwill during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company records an impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, other than goodwill, when events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their remaining lives are less than the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value, which is typically calculated using the discounted cash flow method. 

 

Business Combinations

 

When acquiring other businesses or participating in mergers or joint ventures in which we are deemed to be the acquirer, we generally recognize identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests at their acquisition date fair values, and separately from any goodwill that may be required to be recognized.  Goodwill, when recognizable, would be measured as the excess amount of any consideration transferred, which is generally measured at fair value, over the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

On the date of acquisition, the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree are recorded at their fair values. The acquiree's results of operations are also included in our consolidated results as of the date of acquisition. Intangible assets that arise from contractual/legal rights or are capable of being separated are measured and recorded at fair value and amortized over the estimated useful life.

 

Accounting for such transactions requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates. These include, among others, any estimates or assumptions that may be made for the amounts of future cash flows that will result from any identified intangible assets, the useful lives of such intangible assets, the amount of any contingent liabilities, including contingent consideration, to record at the time of the acquisition and the fair values of any tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Although we believe any estimates and assumptions, we make to be reasonable and appropriate at the time they are made, unanticipated events and circumstances may arise that affect their accuracy, causing actual results to differ from those estimated by us.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into U.S. Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within stockholders’ equity (deficit). 

 

Earnings and Loss per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation.

 

 15 
 

 

Promotion and Advertising Expense

 

We incur advertising expense consisting of offline costs, including newspaper and media advertising, and online advertising expense to promote our brands. We expense the production costs associated with advertisements in the period in which the advertisement first takes place. We expense the costs of communicating the advertisement (e.g., newspaper, short message service (“SMS”) or email campaign) as incurred each time the advertisement or promotion is performed. Promotion and Advertising expense was $84,906 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $38 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. This increase in Promotion and Advertising expenses is due to the acquisition of PRAMA.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options over the instruments vesting period. Options awarded to purchase shares of common stock issued to non-employees do not need to be remeasured as per ASU 2018-07 principles. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $25,723 and $0 was recognized in legal and consulting expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, respectively, as a result of an agreement for consulting services.

 

Leases

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating prior periods. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 840.

 

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed for the carryforward of historical lease classification, on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and of the assessment of initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to April 1, 2019. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The adoption did not impact our beginning or prior period consolidated condensed balance sheets, statement of equity / (deficit), statement of operations and statement of cash flows.

Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and classifies that lease as either an operating or finance lease at inception. If an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease, we then determine whether the lease meets the criteria of a finance lease or an operating lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement are considered. As the rate implicit in certain of the Company's leases is not easily determinable, the Company’s applicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the sum of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset is recognized at the amount of the lease liability with certain adjustments, if applicable. These adjustments include lease incentives, prepaid rent, and initial direct costs. We reassess if an arrangement is or contains a lease upon modification of the arrangement. At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a lease liability for contractual fixed lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset representing our right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is measured initially as the present value of the contractual fixed lease payments during the lease term. The lease term additionally includes renewal periods only if it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the options. Contractual fixed leases payments are discounted at the rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised.

 

Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Other current liabilities, and Operating lease liabilities, due after one year, in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

 

 16 
 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company has determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it  recognizes the amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

 

Non Income Taxes

 

The Company is subject to India Goods and Services Tax and other local duties and non-income taxes on its transactions in India. The Company collects such taxes from customers, and pays such taxes on applicable supplies and inputs, and remits the net amounts to the respective local tax authorities on an accrual basis.

 

Equity-method Investments

 

Through PRAMA, the Company has a 29.575% equity interest in PCW, a non-trading company formed to develop a potential hotel in Bengaluru, India. The Company exercises significant influence over PCW but does not control the investee and the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities. PCW is accounted for using the equity method.

 

Equity investments are accounted for using the equity-method of accounting if the investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. The total of our investments in equity-method investees, including identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities and goodwill, is included within “Other noncurrent assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our share of the earnings or losses as reported by equity-method investees, amortization of the related intangible assets, and related gains or losses, if any, are classified as “Equity-method investment activity, net of tax” on our consolidated statements of operations. Our share of the net income or loss of our equity-method investees may in the future include operating and non-operating gains and charges, which may have a significant impact on our reported equity-method investment activity and the carrying value of those investments. We regularly evaluate these investments, which are not carried at fair value, for other-than-temporary impairment.

 

We record purchases, including incremental purchases, of shares in equity-method investees at cost. Reductions in our ownership percentage of an investee, including through dilution, are generally valued at fair value, with the difference between fair value and our recorded cost reflected as a gain or loss in our equity-method investment activity. In the event we no longer have the ability to exercise significant influence over an equity-method investee, we would discontinue accounting for the investment under the equity method.

 

Included in Other Non Current Assets as of June 30, 2019, is $346,074 relating to the fair value of equity-method investments and $319,725 relating to the fair value of amounts due from equity-method investee, in aggregate $665,799. During the period April 22, 2019, through June 30, 2019, there was no recorded impairment for the equity investee. Also there was no activity in the equity method investee and so no equity-method investment activity, net of tax, was recorded in our Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

The Company follows FASB ASC subtopic 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20, the Company’s related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

On April 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-2), as amended, which generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional, optional transition method with which to adopt the new leases standard. This additional transition method allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, rather than in the earliest period presented in the financial statements, as originally required by ASU 2016-2.

 

Adoption of the standard did not result in adjustment to our prior period Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations or Statements of Cash Flows. When we adopted ASU 2016-02, we applied the package of practical expedients allowed by the standard, and therefore, we did not reassess: a) Whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases under the new definition; b) The lease classification for any expired or existing leases; or c) Whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial direct costs.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact to the Company's financial statements but does believes it is expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted 

  

No other recent accounting pronouncements were issued by FASB and the SEC that are believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY 

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 30,441,407 of common shares by means of: a) 25,462,167 common shares through conversion of notes; b) 2,632,653 common shares relating directly to the PRAMA acquisition; c) 1,571,430 common shares when the warrant holders exercised their $0.01 warrants; and d) 775,157 common shares through a private placement. These events are described in further detail below.

 

In June 2019, the Company issued 25,462,167 common shares and reduced its liabilities by approximately $1,150,483 in connection with three separate related parties who converted their notes. These were non-monetary transactions.

 

On April 22, 2019, the Company issued 2,632,653 common shares to the shareholders of PRAMA, at a price of $0.28 per share, as part of the PRAMA acquisition. This was a non-monetary transaction.

 

In June 2019, the Company issued 1,571,430 common shares when the warrant holders exercised their warrants and received approximately $15,714 in cash.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019 the Company issued and sold 775,157 units comprising one share and warrant to purchase two share of Company’s common stock; par value $0.0001 pursuant to a private placement. The purchase price per unit was $0.70 resulting in aggregate proceeds of $542,610 to the Company. The Company issued warrants to acquire approximately 1,550,314 common shares pursuant to the 775,157 units listed above during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. These warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the three-year term commencing from the issuance date at an exercise price of $0.01.

 

Warrants:

 

The following table is the summary of warrant activities during the period:

 

Warrants   Number
of shares
   Weighted average
exercise price
   Weighted average remaining
contractual life
   Approximate aggregate intrinsic
value
 
Outstanding as of March 31, 2019    1,571,430   $0.01    3.0   $345,000 
Issued    1,550,314   $0.01    3.0   $340,000 
Exercised    1,571,430   $0.01    -    - 
Expired    -    -    -    - 
Outstanding as of June 30, 2019    1,550,314   $0.01    3.0   $340,000 

 

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s estimate of the fair value of its common shares and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money warrants. The Company is not actively traded on the Over the Counter Market. The total intrinsic value of warrants exercised for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was minimal. The fair value of warrants granted during the three months ended June 30, 2019 approximated $0.23 per warrant.

11. INCOME TAX 

 

US taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 

 

The Company files its income tax returns on a fiscal year basis.

 

The future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as the Company’s income (loss) before taxes, tax legislation and the geographic composition of pre-tax income. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various State jurisdictions. Sunalpha and PRAMA file tax returns in India and due to losses, no tax liability or net deferred tax asset is recorded. The Company is generally subject to U.S. Federal, State and local examinations by tax authorities for the past three years.

 

Indian taxes

 

Historically, the Company has not paid Indian income taxes because of historical losses. For the period April 22, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the Company believes the PRAMA results of operations would not have resulted in an income tax liability, due to the calculation of a pro forma tax loss for the period and the availability of prior period tax losses.

 

12. EARNINGS AND LOSS PER SHARE

 

ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” requires presentation of basic earnings per share and dilutive earnings per share.

 

The computation of basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

The Company has outstanding convertible debt of $945,000 which converts into 10,660,213 of the Company’s common stock, which may cause diluted earnings per share. Since the Company has only incurred losses, basic and diluted loss per share are the same as potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

The Company issued approximately 1,550,314 warrants during quarter ended June 30, 2019, which had minimal impact on the earning per share calculation for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

   Quarter Ended 
   June 30, 2019   June 30, 2018 
Basic net loss per share:        
         
Net loss attributable to TripBorn, Inc.  $(427,264)  $(259,159)
Weighted average common shares outstanding   97,605,456    95,711,874 
Basic net loss per share attributable to TripBorn Inc. common stockholders  $(0.00)  $(0.00)

  

Due to net loss, the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as they would have had an antidilutive effect.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is the B2B Principal Agent of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, or IRCTC, which is a government entity that allows the Company to offer reservations through Indian Railways’ passenger reservation system on the Company’s webpage. Indian Railways is India’s state-owned railway, which owns and operates most of India’s rail transportation. The Company has integrated its online portal with IRCTC’s to provide a seamless booking process. Pursuant to an Application Programming Interface (“API”) agreement, dated October 5, 2015, the Company is required to pay a minimum annual maintenance fee of $7,500 to IRCTC. In the event the agreement is renewed, the amount based on the number of active railway agents that use the Company rail booking services on the Company’s platform will be payable annually. On September 30, 2018, the Company renewed its agreement with the IRCTC and paid an annual maintenance fee of $8,600 based on the number of active railway agents it has enrolled to book rail tickets.

 

Through Sunalpha, the Company currently occupies approximately 2,455 square feet of office space owned by the CEO of the Company on a rent-free basis. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not paid any rent. There were no significant commitments or contingencies for PRAMA as of June 30, 2019.

 

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to its business. On the acquisition of PRAMA, on April 22, 2019, the Company assumed an interest in an arbitration claim. PRAMA made an arbitration claim of approximately $295,000 (21.2 million Indian Rupees) against Ms. Khurana Hotels and Apartments Private Limited in the Civil Court Senior Division of Amritsar, India. The claim is based on the asserted failure of Ms. Khurana Hotels and Apartments Private Limited, as lessor, to comply with the terms of the lease. As of the date of this filing, the arbitration proceedings are on-going.

 

Although litigation and arbitration are inherently uncertain, based on the information currently available, management does not believe that the currently pending arbitration will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

14. BUSINESS SEGMENTS 

 

Prior to the acquisition of PRAMA, a hospitality company, the Company was a one segment company. Following, the acquisition of PRAMA, the Company’s chief operating decision maker changed the information he receives to manage, assess, operate the business and to allocate capital. Accordingly, the Company changed its operating segments to comprise: eCommerce aggregation services and Hospitality, respectively. The Company management reviews and evaluates the operating segments, as defined, are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing financial performance. The reportable segments reflect the internal organization of the Company and are strategic businesses that offer different products and services. The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by revenues. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue and operating results.

 

All net revenues are derived from transactions with third party customers, there are no inter-segment revenues. All of the net revenue is derived from operations in India, substantially all of the expenses are borne in India, with certain expenses borne in the US.

 

The Company measures segment performance based on loss from continuing operations. Summarized financial information concerning each of the Company's reportable segments is as follows:

 

   Three months ended June 30, 2019

Overview 

 

The Company is an eCommerce aggregator and a hospitality management company. An aggregator model is a form of eCommerce whereby our website, www.tripborn.com aggregates, information on various travel and hospitality vendors and presents them on a single platform, to ease, facilitate, coordinate and effectuate consumer travel and hospitality needs. The Hospitality segment is an Indian based operator of 20 hotel properties in 16 cities with 949 keys under 7 brands as of June 30, 2019.

 

The eCommerce aggregator business functions as a Last Mile Commerce and Connectivity aggregator that delivers product and services to offline consumers using a service agent network in India through our website. Currently, we operate as a business to business, or B2B, Last Mile Commerce platform that serves business agents and companies based in India in providing travel and financial services products for their offline customers. Through our website, our business or travel agents can search and book domestic and international air tickets, hotels, vacation packages, rail tickets and bus tickets, as well as ancillary travel-related services and financial services including money transfer bill payment, and Micro ATM products. The eCommerce Aggregator segment operates through Sunalpha Green Technologies Private Limited (“Sunalpha”), a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

The hospitality business is comprised of our 51% equity interest in our subsidiary, PRAMA, which was acquired on April 22, 2019. The hospitality business operates the following mid-priced to budget brands in India: Mango Hotels, Mango Suites, Mango Hotels Select, Mango Suites Select, i-Stay Hotels and Apodis Collection. APODIS and IntelliStay function as umbrella brands. Our brands strive to highlight friendly service and reflects a local spin on the travel experience in an environment that allows customers to feel welcome and at home while paying a budget price. Our focus is to anticipate guest needs and pleasantly surprise them with our customer service. Under our asset-light business model, we manage hotels, rather than owning them.

 

PRAMA was acquired not only for its asset-light hotel property management business, but also for the expectation that we plan to deliver organic growth and synergies through combining the PRAMA portfolio with the eCommerce Aggregator platform to increase traffic in and capture margin in both segments. In addition, we pursue acquisition targets, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination to fuel scale and growth within the broad hospitality sector.

 

eCommerce Aggregator business overview

 

We have built, advanced and secure, service-oriented technology platforms, that integrate our sales, customer service and fulfillment operations. Our website is hosted in the cloud and is used by our B2B customers or service agents to enable them to sell our full suite of online travel services to their customers. Our technology platforms are scalable and can be augmented to handle increased traffic and complexity of products with limited additional investment, an example of which is the high traffic generated by promotional rates offered simultaneously by multiple travel operators and suppliers. Our website facilitates the requirements of the growing Indian middle-class travel market, which is characterized by lower rates of internet penetration and digital technology, when compared to more developed countries. We have a network of approximately 10,200 registered agents across over 200 cities in India.

 

We have designed our customer facing websites to be user-friendly to our B2B customer, providing our customers with extensive low-price options and alternative routings. We continuously make improvements to our online booking platforms to enhance the user experience by focusing on automation. Our cloud-based platform has been designed to link to our multiple suppliers’ systems either through “direct connects” or a global distribution system (“GDS”), we use both Amadeus and Galileo, and are capable of delivering real-time availability and pricing information for multiple options simultaneously. Our platform is hosted by a cloud-based IBM service, which provides a high degree of reliability, security and scalability and helps us to maintain adequate capacity. Since commencing operations as an online travel agent in February 2014, we have steadily worked to add suppliers in order to provide additional services and better pricing for our service agent customers. As internet penetration in India continues to increase, we anticipate that we will be in a position to use our established platform to offer travel services and related services directly to consumers. We believe our online platform is scalable for suppliers and transactions.

eCommerce Aggregator operating metrics

 

In evaluating our eCommerce Aggregator business, we use operating metrics, including gross bookings and revenue margin. Gross bookings are a measure of the total dollar volume of transactions that we process and is used by us to measure our scale and growth. We calculate revenue margin as revenue as a percentage of gross bookings.

 

 

  Quarter ended June 30
  2019 2018
     
Gross Bookings1* $15,042,550 $13,720,529
Net revenues $132,120 $95,640
Gross Bookings
Margin2*
0.88% 0.70%

 

 

 

1* Gross bookings represent the total retail value of transactions booked through us, generally including taxes, fees and other charges, and are generally reduced for cancellations and refunds. Gross bookings differ from the Company’s net revenues, which reflect the revenue earned by the Company.

 

2* Gross bookings margin is defined as net revenues as a percentage of gross bookings.

 

The increase in gross bookings is driven primarily by increases in incentives, fees, penalty income, and surcharges paid by our service agent customers. The revenue margin increased quarter over quarter by approximately 18 basis points, due to increased margin from suppliers in our offerings.

 

Hospitality business overview

 

Hospitality trends and opportunities

 

The Indian travel and hospitality segment is highly fragmented, with attention focused on a handful of higher end luxury brands. There has been a dearth of branded hotel chains catering to mass segments, where demand is primarily driven by approximately 650 million young travelers aged between 24 and 35, keen to travel, enabled by higher disposable income and improved transport options. With changing times, the young travelers have created demand in India’s smaller towns and hence creating a need for predictable hotel experience with affordable pricing.

 

In a country where access to local information and knowledge is rarely available in an online, social media driven environment, hospitality sales channels have relied on offline distribution channels, principally word-of-mouth, print, radio, television and travel agent marketing. Given the ever-growing list of options available today in India, using the right number and mix of channels to deliver a relevant and engaging customer experience in an increasingly fragmented, and often chaotic distribution landscape is pivotal. As such, hotels can no longer be complacent, relying on previous sales and distribution channels. It is incumbent upon hoteliers to effectively leverage both direct and indirect channels as part of their sales and marketing strategy to stay competitive, optimize yields, drive sales and revenue.

Hospitality business overview

 

We look at the number of keys (available rooms), number of properties by brand and the number of cities as a measure of our geographical reach. We plan to present revenue per available room (“RevPar”), average daily rate (“ADR”) and average occupancy (“Occupancy”) in future quarterly and annual reports. We believe RevPAR, which we calculate by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available for the period, measures the period-over-period change in room revenues for comparable properties. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues, and should not be viewed as necessarily correlating with our fee revenue. Occupancy, which we calculate by dividing occupied rooms by total rooms available, measures the utilization of a property’s available capacity. ADR, which we calculate by dividing property room revenue by total rooms sold, measures average room price and is useful in assessing pricing levels. We plan to measure our performance on a constant Indian Rupee basis and therefore US Dollar translations may experience currency fluctuations which do not impact underlying local performance. We do not plan to calculate constant dollar statistics, for example, by applying exchange rates for the current period to the prior comparable period. We define our comparable properties as our properties that were open and operating under one of our brands since the beginning of the last full calendar year and have not, in either the current or previous year: (i) undergone significant room or public space renovations or expansions, (ii) been converted between our hotel brands, (iii) sustained substantial property damage or business interruption; or (iv) changed contractual terms.

 

Given the transaction occurred on April 22, 2019, we believe that consistent period on period performance will not be meaningful for a period of time and accordingly will not present the above post acquisition performance measures until they are meaningful.

 

We earn base management fees and in certain cases incentive management fees from the properties that we manage. In most markets, base management typically consist of a percentage of property-level revenue, while incentive management fees typically consist of a percentage of net profit, adjusted for certain contractually agreed items.

 

We remain focused on doing the things that we do well; that is, selling rooms, taking care of our guests, and making sure we control costs. We provide our guests new and memorable experiences through our portfolio of brands, innovative technology, and a focus on employee training to deliver a consistent customer experience. Our brands remain strong due to our skilled management teams, dedicated associates, superior guest service with an emphasis on guest and associate satisfaction, and desirable property amenities within the budget price range.

 

We, along with property owners, continue to invest in our brands by means of new, refreshed, and reinvented properties, new room and public space designs, and enhanced amenities, technology offerings, and guest experiences. We address, through various means, hotels in our system that do not meet our standards. We continue to enhance the appeal of our proprietary, information-rich, and easy-to-use websites, and of our associated mobile smartphone applications, through functionality and service improvements.

 

OUR STRATEGY

 

We believe that the fast-growing travel market in in India, coupled with rising disposable income in India drive a strategic opportunity. Our objective is to capture this growth through the following strategic initiatives:

 

·Expand our hotels and packages offerings. Our hotels and packages offering generally yields higher margins than our air, rail ticketing and money transfer offerings, and we intend to increase this as part of the sales mix. In April 2019, we acquired PRAMA, which operates a budget hotel portfolio across India. We plan to increase the number of hotels, to increase captive demand, utilizing our last-mile-distribution network, by adopting new technologies, and a deep customer focus to create stronger brand loyalty and customer engagement experience. Our objective is to enable more hotel suppliers to be seamlessly connected to our platform with the latest technology methods which include direct connects, channel managers and direct integrations with various aggregators. We believe that we can increase our total number of transactions as internet penetration in India increases, by strengthening our distribution network, cross selling other products and service including vacation packages;

·Expand our service and product portfolio to enhance cross-selling opportunities.  We believe that expanding our service and product offerings (i.e. Money transfer and Payment services) is an important means of customer acquisition as the diversity of our services and products will improve our offerings to customers, attract more customers to our platform and which allow us to cross sell higher-margin service;

·Enhance our service platforms by investing in technology. We intend to continue to invest in technology to enhance the features of our services and alignment of our platform and technology assets with business objectives which can improve visibility into business operation and profitability, ensure transparency for optimal service delivery, reducing cost, offer new services to customers, and to create efficiency across our businesses by enabling control of every transactions; and

·Pursue selective strategic partnerships and acquisitions. In addition to organic growth, we will pursue strategic partnerships and targeted acquisitions that complement our service offerings, strengthen or establish our presence, or to gain access to technology and building brands.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Acquisition of PRAMA

 

The acquisition of PRAMA on April 22, 2019, had a material impact on the results of operations, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Accordingly, the results for the period June 30, 2018, which do not include PRAMA are not comparable to the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, which do include the results of PRAMA, on a post-close basis. Equally, the PRAMA acquisition had a material impact on the liquidity and capital resources of the Company. The impact of the PRAMA acquisition on the post close results and the balance sheet is shown in the Company’s segmental disclosure. PRAMA’s results, scale and operations are significantly larger than the eCommerce Aggregator segment. Also, the effects of the PRAMA acquisition impacted every significant line item in the statements of operations and balance sheet.

 

The pro forma combined revenues and net loss before income taxes, for the combined entity, as though the acquisition of PRAMA had occurred on April 1, 2018, for the respective periods are shown in Note 1 of our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited).

 

The eCommerce Aggregator segment results improved but compared to the PRAMA acquisition did not have a meaningful impact on the results of the Company. The Company does not believe that presenting pro forma information for PRAMA, over and above what is disclosed in the segmental information above, would be meaningful at this time.

CONSOLIDATED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had $1,358,902 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,230,012 as of March 31, 2019. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by $558,325 proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants, and $112,803 in cash provided by operating activities and working capital, partially offset by the $507,093 net cash used for the purchase of PRAMA and other cash movements. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $2,061,528, compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $1,078,970 as of March 31, 2019. The change of $3,140,498, is comprised of $2,401,181 of share issuances and $1,150,483 of note conversions, and other, partially offset by a net loss attributable to the Parent Company of $427,264. The Company has continued to raise equity in the period post June 30, 2019 to fund working capital, general and administration expenses and further potential acquisitions. The Company also plans to improve the cash flow from operations for both the eCommerce Aggregator and Hospitality segments.

 

Cash Flows: The following table is a summary of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

 

   Three months ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2019   2018 
Cash Provided by (Used in):          
Operating activities  $112,803   $(340,244)
Investing activities  $(558,958)  $(396)
Financing activities  $548,595   $(10,518)


Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operations was $112,803 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a cash use from operating activities of $340,244 during the same period in fiscal 2018. The increase in the period to period change was $453,047 and was primarily attributable to the cash flow from the inclusion of PRAMA for this quarter, whereas, it was not present in the previous quarter. Significant changes in operating assets comprised a decrease of $480,294 from accounts receivables, a decrease of $854,398 from right to use of assets and a decrease of $280,820 in other non-current liabilities. Significant improvements in cash from operating assets and liabilities included, a change of $1,199,970 from other current liabilities and $877,743 from operating lease liabilities. The net loss was $562,755 as adjusted for non cash depreciation and amortization of $134,334 and stock based compensation of $25,723.

  

Investing Activities: The change in investing activities related to the net cash used in acquiring the 51% equity interest in PRAMA of $507,093 in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and $51,864 of property and equipment expenditures which were substantially all in the Hospitality segment.

 

Financing Activities: During the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was $558,325 cash provided by issuances or shares and or warrants in the following categories: a) In June 2019, the Company issued 1,571,430 common shares when the warrant holders exercised their warrants and received approximately $15,714 in cash; and b) During the quarter ended June 30, 2019 the Company issued and sold 775,157 units comprising one share and warrant to purchase two share of Company’s common stock; par value $0.0001 pursuant to a private placement. The purchase price per unit was $0.70 resulting in aggregate proceeds of $542,611 to the Company. The comparable period in 2018 arose from a $10,518 repayment of convertible notes. We currently do not have a senior credit or revolving credit facility and do not expect to obtain one in the foreseeable future.

 

We will require additional capital to continue to fund our operations and will look to raise funds through public and private offerings of our securities. Our liquidity needs are largely impacted by the acquisitions we complete, and our efforts to manage our sales, general and administrative funds, offset by planned growth in cash generation for operating activities and the realization of working capital improvements. There are no assurances that these steps will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. We can also give no assurance that additional capital financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available, we may not be able to continue our operations or execute our business plan.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2019. The ineffectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff:

 

(i)inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
(ii)lack of multiple levels of supervision and review; and
(iii)lack of adequate U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting knowledge to identify, account for and disclose financial reporting issues on a timely basis; and
(iv)an inability to report financial statements in a timely manner.

 

We believe that the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial results. We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the current fiscal year, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.

 

Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

 36 
 

 

Management's Remediation Plan

 

The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible. However, we are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated as soon as possible. We continue to implement our remediation plan for the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described in Part II, Item 9A of our 2019 Form 10-K, which includes steps to increase dedicated personnel, improve reporting processes, and enhance related supporting technology.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

 

Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our financial statements for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of the time needed to implement these steps and test the applicable controls in operation, management does not anticipate that the material weaknesses will be fully remediated by March 31, 2020.

 

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to its business. On the acquisition of PRAMA, on April 22, 2019, the Company assumed an interest in an arbitration claim. PRAMA made an arbitration claim of approximately $295,000 (21.2 million Indian Rupees) against Ms. Khurana Hotels and Apartments Private Limited in the Civil Court Senior Division of Amritsar, India. The claim is based on the asserted failure by PRAMA of Ms. Khurana Hotels and Apartments Private Limited, as lessor, to comply with the terms of the lease. As of the date of this filing, the arbitration proceedings are on-going.

 

Although litigation and arbitration are inherently uncertain, based on the information currently available, management does not believe that the currently pending arbitration will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
