Overview
Visium Technologies, Inc. is a Florida based company focused on building a global cybersecurity business, by advancing technology and cybersecurity tools and services to support enterprises in protecting their most valuable assets - their data, on their networks, in the cloud, and IoT.
Visium is currently engaged in creating a world-class cybersecurity/digital risk management company, with a focus on network security, threat visualization, Internet of Things, (“IoT”), mobile security, pinpoint threat identification, big-data analytics, and smart cities technologies. Our solutions address the growing security and compliance complexities and risks resulting from the increasing adoption of cloud computing and the proliferation of geographically dispersed IT assets. In July 2018 Visium entered into a license agreement with George Mason University to commercialize and sell a network assessment and visualization tool that is backed by eight issued patents. This technology allows customers to collect and analyze large amounts of IT security data, discover and prioritize vulnerabilities, and take remedial actions.
Under the Agreement with George Mason University, the Company is required to make a first commercial sale of a “LICENSED PRODUCT” and/or a first commercial performance of a “LICENSED PROCESS,” as defined in the Agreement, on or before July 30, 2019. The 2019 minimum revenue target for the sale of products and services incorporating the GMRF technology is $100,000. This minimum revenue amount will increase in subsequent years. Also, within 30 days of the Effective date of the Agreement, the Company is required to pay GMRF a non-refundable license issue fee of $20,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is required to pay to GMRF a running royalty of 5% of “NET SALES,” as defined in the Agreement.
In addition, we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Threat Surface Solutions Group, LLC, a company with expertise in Cybersecurity, Testing, Training, and Network Risk Assessment standards and processes. The closing of this acquisition is expected to occur no later than September 1, 2018 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
Employees
At August 20, 2018, we had 2 full time employees.
Our principal offices are located at 11325 Random Hills Road, Suite 360, Fairfax, Virginia 22030. Our telephone number is (703) 225-3443.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “VISM”.
The common shares of our Company are considered speculative. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our Company and our business before purchasing our common shares. Our business, operating or financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks:
Management and our auditors have raised substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Since inception we have experienced recurring net losses which losses caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $44.7 million as of June 30, 2018. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We currently have a working capital deficit and negative cash flow from operations and are uncertain if and when we will be able to pay our current liabilities.
Our working capital deficit was approximately $4.5 million as of June 30, 2018. This deficit consists of $11,412 in current assets, offset by $4,525,651 in current liabilities. In addition, we had negative cash flow from operations for the year ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $59,401. We do not have any liquid or other assets that can be liquidated to pay our current liabilities while we continue to incur additional liabilities to our officer and certain service providers who are working to prepare the documents required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to enable our common shares to be registered for trading. Since we currently have limited operations, the only ways we have of paying our current liabilities are to issue our common or preferred shares to our creditors or to issue unsecured promissory notes which may include certain features such as convertibility into common or preferred shares or warrants to purchase additional common or preferred shares in the future.
We currently do not have sufficient capital to finance the anticipated recurring costs of being a publicly-traded company.
As of August 20, 2018, we had minimal cash on hand. We anticipate incurring incremental annual costs of approximately $180,000 related to being a publicly-traded company. We will need to raise additional capital to support our public-company-related activities.
4 |
We had $3,722,244 of convertible notes, notes payable, and accrued interest payable as of June 30, 2018, of which of this entire amount is past due, and we do not have the funds necessary to pay these obligations.
In addition to funding our operating expenses, we need capital to pay various debt obligations totaling approximately $3.7 million as of June 30, 2018 which are either currently past due or which are due in the current fiscal year. Currently, there is $1,765,949 principal amount of the convertible notes payable which is past due, $270,241 principal of the notes payable which is past due, and $1,686,053 of accrued interest which is past due. The interest on the past due principal amounts will continue to accrue monthly at their stated rates. Holders of past due notes do not have a security interest in our assets. The existence of these obligations provides additional challenges to us in our efforts to raise capital to fund our operations.
In the event we consummate a transaction with a profitable company, we may not be able to utilize our net operating loss carryover which may have a negative impact on your investment.
If we enter into a combination with a business that has operating income, we cannot assure you that we will be able to utilize all or even a portion of our existing net operating loss carryover for federal or state tax purposes following such a business combination. If we are unable to make use of our existing net operating loss carryover, the tax advantages of such a combination may be limited, which could negatively impact the price of our stock and the value of your investment. These factors will substantially increase the uncertainty, and thus the risk, of investing in our shares.
Economic conditions may affect our ability to obtain financing and to complete a merger or acquisition.
Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries, and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will need. In the presence of these economic conditions, we may have difficulty raising sufficient capital to support the investigation of potential business opportunities, and to consummate a merger or acquisition. These factors substantially increase the uncertainty, and thus the risk, of investing in our shares.
There are a number of factors related to our common stock which may have an adverse effect on our shareholders.
Shareholders’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities. In the event that we are required to issue additional shares, enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities or acquire business interests in the future from the issuance of shares of our common stock to acquire such interests, the interests of existing shareholders in our Company will be diluted and existing shareholders may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we do issue additional shares, it will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all existing shareholders.
We have certain provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and there are other provisions under Florida law, that may serve to make a takeover of our Company more difficult.
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders. Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of Florida law also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation’s disinterested stockholders.
Voting power of our shareholders is highly concentrated by insiders.
Our officers and directors control, either directly or indirectly, a substantial portion of our voting securities. As of June 30, 2018, our executive officer and directors beneficially owns 4,577,739 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 40% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, our executive officer owns the only issued and outstanding share of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock which entitles him to 51% of the Common votes on any matter requiring a shareholder vote. Therefore, our management may significantly affect the outcome of all corporate actions and decisions for an indefinite period of time including the election of directors, amendment of charter documents and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions.
Our common stock is quoted in the over the counter market on the OTC Pink.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink. OTC Pink offers a quotation service to companies that are unable to list their securities on an exchange or for companies, such as ours, whose securities are not eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The requirements for quotation on the OTC Pink are considerably lower and less regulated than those of the OTC Bulletin Board or an exchange. Because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, it is possible that even fewer brokers or dealers would be interested in making a market in our common stock which further adversely impacts its liquidity.
5 |
The tradability of our common stock is limited under the penny stock regulations which may cause the holders of our common stock difficulty should they wish to sell their shares.
Because the quoted price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities and this limited liquidity will make it more difficult for an investor to sell his shares of our common stock in the secondary market should the investor wish to liquidate the investment. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company was incorporated in Nevada as Jaguar Investments, Inc. during October 1987. During March 2003, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged with Freight Rate, Inc., a development stage company in the logistics software business. During May 2003, the Company changed its name to Power2Ship, Inc. During October 2006, the Company merged with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with the Company surviving but its name changed to Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. effective November 2006. During December 2007, the Company merged with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, NuState Energy Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with the Company surviving but renamed NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. effective December 2007. In March 2018 the Company changed its name to Visium Technologies, Inc.
On February 12, 2009, the Company filed Form 15 to terminate registration of its common stock under section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and subsequently has not submitted any filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the period from February 2009 through April 2010, the Company had several changes to its officers and directors and moved its offices twice. The Company’s Chairman and President since April 2010, and its Chief Executive Officer from July 2010 to April 2017, and then reappointed as Chief Executive Officer on September 25, 2017 until February 12, 2018, was Kevin Yates.
The current Chairman and CEO since February 12, 2018 is Mark Lucky. The Company’s headquarters is located at 11325 Random Hills Road, Suite 360, Fairfax, VA 22124. Since February 2018, the Company’s current management has focused on creating a world-class cybersecurity/digital risk management company, with a focus on network security, threat visualization, Internet of Things, (“IoT”), mobile security, pinpoint threat identification, big-data analytics, and smart cities technologies. Our solutions address the growing security and compliance complexities and risks resulting from the increasing adoption of cloud computing and the proliferation of geographically dispersed IT assets. In July 2018 Visium entered into a license agreement with George Mason University to commercialize and sell a network assessment and visualization tool that is backed by eight issued patents. This technology allows customers to collect and analyze large amounts of IT security data, discover and prioritize vulnerabilities, and take remedial actions. In addition, we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Threat Surface Solutions Group, LLC, a company with expertise in Cybersecurity, Testing, Training, and Network Risk Assessment standards and processes. The closing of this acquisition is expected to occur no later than September 1, 2018 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
In addition, the Company is focused on increasing the Company’s shareholder value by improving the Company’s balance sheet by reducing liabilities and regaining use of certain of its intellectual property and software.
Results of Operations
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended June 30, 2018, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,043,230 as compared to $2,056,854 for the year ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,013,624 or approximately 49%. For the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:
2018 | 2017 | Increase/ (Decrease) | % Change | |||||||||||||

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2018, when compared with the prior year, is primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation and salaries, offset primarily by increases in stock-based consulting expenses.

Gain on Change in Derivative Liability

June 30, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities | $ | - | $ | 636,096 |
Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities results from the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability due to the application of ASC 815, resulting in either income or expense, depending on the difference in fair value of the derivative liabilities between their measurement dates. The increase in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized during fiscal 2018 is primarily due to a change in accounting estimate related to the accounting for derivative liabilities.
During fiscal 2017, the Company’s management had a change in accounting estimate related to the accounting for derivative liabilities. Due to the Company’s current share price and lack of trading liquidity in the Company’s common stock, the convertible notes were determined to have no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion of these notes. As a result, the Company recorded a change in accounting estimate which resulted in a gain on change in derivative liability of approximately $636,000.

2018 | 2017 | Change | ||||||||||
Interest Expense | $ | 275,975 | $ | 339,351 | (18.7 | )% |
Interest expense represents the stated interest of notes and convertible notes payable as well as the amortization of debt discount. The decrease in interest expense during fiscal 2018 is primarily due to lower amortization of debt discount of $81,667, along with a decrease in the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities.

At June 30, 2018 and 2017, 100% of our total assets consisted of cash.
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have ready access to sufficient funds to meet commitments and effectively implement our growth strategy. Our primary sources are financing activities such as the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable. In the past, we have mostly relied on debt and equity financing to provide for our operating needs.
We were unable to generate sufficient funds from operations to fund our ongoing operating requirements through June 30, 2018. As of August 20, 2018, we had approximately $60,000 on hand. We may need to raise funds to enhance our working capital and use them for strategic purposes. If such need arises, we intend to generate proceeds from either debt or equity financing.
We intend to finance our operations using equity financing. We do not anticipate incurring capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will need to raise approximately $180,000 per year in the near term to finance the recurring costs of being a publicly-traded company, and from $2 to $5 million to implement a plan of operation. We anticipate we will need to raise up to $2 million to complete the acquisitions that we have identified. If these funds cannot be obtained, we may not be able to consummate an acquisition or merger, and our business may fail as a result.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $59,401 and $278,993 during the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $4.5 million and $4.9 million at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future, once a merger with an operating company is consummated. Management plans may continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt and the Company will continue to find possible acquisition targets. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

Year ended June 30, 2017
Net cash used in operations in fiscal year 2017 totaled $278,993. This cash was obtained through the sale of $249,500 of convertible promissory notes and the sale of $30,000 of short term notes payable.
Capital Raising Transactions
Issuance of Convertible Notes Payable
We generated proceeds of $37,500 and $279,500 during fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively, from the issuance of convertible notes payable and promissory notes.
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company had convertible promissory notes aggregating approximately $1.6 million and $2.2 million outstanding at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The accrued interest amounted to approximately $1,493,000 and $1,235,000 at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Convertible Notes Payable bear interest at rates ranging between 10% and 18% per annum. Interest is generally payable monthly. The Convertible Notes Payable are generally convertible at rates ranging between $1.875 and $0.75 per share, at the holders’ option. At June 30, 2018, all convertible promissory notes have matured.

Additionally, upon conversion, the holders of $192,000 of convertible promissory notes are also entitled to 12,800,000 warrants, exercisable at a rate of $37.50. The warrants expire 3 years from the date of issuance.
Convertible notes payable to ASC Recap LLC
On July 22, 2013 and May 6, 2014, the Company issued to ASC Recap LLC (“ASC”) two convertible promissory notes with principal amounts of $25,000 and $125,000, respectively. These two notes were issued as a fee for services under a 3(a)10 transaction that was never consummated and therefore there was no performance by ASC to earn the notes. As a result, while the Company continues to carry the balance of these notes on its balance sheet, it does not believe the notes payable balances are owed. The July 22, 2013 note matured on March 31, 2014 and a balance of $22,965 remains unpaid. The May 6, 2014 note matured on May 6, 2016 and remains unpaid. The notes are convertible into the common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion price equal to 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the twenty days prior to conversion.
Notes Payable
The Company had promissory notes aggregating approximately $270,000 at June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. The related accrued interest amounted to approximately $245,237 and $222,414 at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The notes payable bear interest at rates ranging between 8% and 16% per annum. Interest is generally payable monthly. All promissory notes have matured as of June 30, 2018.
Warrants
As of June 30, 2018, we had no outstanding warrants.
Derivative Liability
The Corporation recognizes all derivative financial instruments on its balance sheet at fair value. For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $636,096. This was due to management’s change in accounting estimate during the year ended June 30, 2017. The Company determined that all of the underlying notes were past due and in default, and that there was no active market for the Company’s common stock. Because of this lack of liquidity and market value, there was no derivative liability associated with these convertible notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Climate Change
Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s critical accounting policies are as follows:
Convertible Instruments - The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional (as that term is described).
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470 20 “Debt with Conversion Options” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
The Company believes the certain conversion features embedded in convertible notes payable are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the Company’s stock price. Accordingly, the Company has recognized derivative liabilities in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance at every balance sheet thereafter. The Company uses judgment in determining which valuation is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black Scholes), the expected volatility, the implied risk-free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who at June 30, 2018 was also our principal executive and financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018. In making this assessment, our management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
During our assessment of the design and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018, management identified the following material weaknesses:
● | While we have processes in place, there are no formal written policies and procedures related to certain financial reporting processes; | |
● | There is no formal documentation in which management specified financial reporting objectives to enable the identification of risks, including fraud risks; | |
● | Our Board of Directors consisted of three members, however we lack the resources and personnel to implement proper segregation of duties or other risk mitigation systems. |
A material weakness is “a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected by us in a timely manner.” A significant deficiency is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.
We intend to gradually improve our internal control over financial reporting to the extent that we can allocate resources to such improvements. We intend to prioritize the design of our internal control over financial reporting starting with our control environment and risk assessments and ending with control activities, information and communication activities, and monitoring activities. Although we believe the time to adapt in the next year will help position us to provide improved internal control functions into the future, in the interim, these changes caused control deficiencies, which in the aggregate resulted in a material weakness. Due to the existence of these material weaknesses, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2018.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit smaller reporting companies to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Compensation Committee. Mr. Favata and Mr. Grbelja are members of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee was appointed by the Board to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to:

Pursuant to our Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee is charged with evaluating and recommending for approval by the Board of Directors the compensation of our executive officers.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC. Such executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are also required by the SEC rules to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file a Form 5, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, our executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such persons.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to provide guiding principles to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller of our company in the performance of their duties. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct also strongly recommends that all directors and employees of our company comply with the code in the performance of their duties. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct provides that the basic principle that governs all of our officers, directors and employees is that our business should be carried on with loyalty to the interest of our stockholders, customers, suppliers, fellow employees, strategic partners and other business associates. We believe that the philosophy and operating style of our management are essential to the establishment of a proper corporate environment for the conduct of our business.
Generally, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct provides guidelines regarding:
● | conflicts of interest, | |
● | financial reporting responsibilities, | |
● | insider trading, | |
● | inappropriate and irregular conduct, | |
● | political contributions, and | |
● | compliance with laws. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Visium Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Visium Technologies, Inc (the Company) as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph- Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses for the year ended June 30, 2018 the Company had a net loss of $1,390,340, had net cash used in operating activities of $59,401, and had negative working capital of $4,514,240. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

It was formerly known as Jaguar Investments, Inc. between October 1987 and May 2003, Power2Ship, Inc. between May 2003 and November 2006, Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. between November 2006 and December 2007, and as NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. between December 2007 and March 5, 2018 when it changed its name to Visium Technologies, Inc.
The Company is focused on digital risk management, cybersecurity, and technology services for network physical security, the Cloud, mobility solutions, and the Internet of Things (“IOT”).
The Company named Mark Lucky as its Chief Executive Officer in February 2018 to provide strategic expertise in pursuing its business plans.
On March 5, 2018 a majority of the common shareholders approved certain corporate actions, and the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State Department of Corporations in the State of Florida to effect the following changes, effective March 1, 2018:
(i) | reverse the Common stock by a ratio of three thousand for one (3,000:1). The board of directors was authorized to implement the reverse stock split. |
(ii) | change the name of the Company to Visium Technologies, Inc. from Nustate Energy Holdings, Inc. |
(iii) | amend our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to designate Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock which provides that the Holder shall vote on all matters as a class with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and shall be entitled to 51% of the common votes on any matters requiring a shareholder vote of the Company. |
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the year ended June 30, 2018 we had a net loss of $1,390,340, had net cash used in operating activities of $59,401, and had negative working capital of $4,514,240. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for the Company’s capital requirements by continuing to issue additional equity and debt securities. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management is in the process of acquiring an operating entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. We are also considering several additional potential acquisitions and are investigating various candidates to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders.
We intend to restrict our consideration of potential business to communications, services, or technology. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.
Any business combination or transaction may result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton stock based compensation valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate and in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid, temporary, cash equivalents with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents during the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk from cash.
The Company’s cash account is held at a financial institution and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, up to $250,000. During the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had not reached a bank balance exceeding the FDIC insurance limit.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had notes payable outstanding in which the conversion rate was variable and undeterminable. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company determined that there was no active market for the Company’s common stock, and because of this lack of liquidity and market value, there was no derivative liability associated with these convertible notes. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and at every balance sheet thereafter and in determining which valuation method is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black-Scholes-Merton), the expected volatility, the implied risk-free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate, if any. The derivate liability that had previously been recognized was recorded as a gain through the change in fair value of derivative liability on the statement of operations as of June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2018 the Company has still determined that there was no active market for the Company’s common stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. |
Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation, notes payable and convertible promissory notes payable, approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items or the use of market interest rates.
Convertible Instruments
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity, generally provides that, among other things, if an event is not within the entity’s control, such contract could require net cash settlement and shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
The Company determines whether the instruments issued in the transactions are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. During fiscal years 2014 through 2017 the Company’s issued convertible securities with variable conversion provisions that resulted in derivative liabilities. See discussion above under derivative liabilities that resulted in a change in derivative liability accounting.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions”. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had not filed tax returns for the tax years ending June 30, 2008 through 2017 and such returns, when filed, potentially will be subject to audit by the taxing authorities for a minimum of three years beyond the filing date under the three-year statute of limitations. The Company has not accrued any potential tax penalties associated with not filing these tax returns. Due to recurring losses, management believes such potential tax penalties, if any, would not be material in amount.
Share-Based Payments
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates in one business segment which technologies are focused on cybersecurity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for capital leases and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that upon adoption in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020, it will recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and the amounts could be material.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, a new accounting standard update intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. Specifically, the update requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes) be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated statements of operations, introducing a new element of volatility to the provision for income taxes. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the ASU on May 1, 2017. Effective with the adoption of the ASU all share-based awards continue to be accounted for as equity awards, excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of the provision for income taxes on a prospective basis, excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense are classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows on a prospective basis and the Company has elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures over the course of a vesting period. The adoption of the ASU had no material impact on the retained earnings, other components of equity or net assets as of the beginning of the period of adoption.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows- Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statements of cash flows. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (the Company’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2019), and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company plans to adopt the ASU in its fiscal year ending April 30, 2019. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
In May 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, regarding the accounting implications of the recently issued Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This standard is effective immediately. The update clarifies that in a company’s financial statements that include the reporting period in which the Act was enacted, the company must first reflect the income tax effects of the Act in which the accounting under GAAP is complete. These amounts would not be provisional amounts. The company would also report provisional amounts for those specific income tax effects for which the accounting under GAAP is incomplete, but a reasonable estimate can be determined. The Company has recorded a provisional amount which it believes is a reasonable estimate of the effects of the Act on the Company’s financial statements as of April 30, 2018. Technical corrections or other forthcoming guidance could change how the Company interprets provisions of the Act, which may impact its effective tax rate and could affect its deferred tax assets, tax positions and/or its tax liabilities.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to non-employees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented. Management has early adopted this guidance and has determined that no changes were necessary for the prior year presented in these financials because the only applicable restricted stock awards were granted in April 2018.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as modified by ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The revenue recognition principle in ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. In addition, new and enhanced disclosures will be required. Companies may adopt the new standard either using the full retrospective approach, a modified retrospective approach with practical expedients, or a cumulative effect upon adoption approach. This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this standard effective July 1, 2017. Since the Company has not earned any revenue to date, there was no impact to the financial statements upon adoption.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and the dilutive Common Stock share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive Common Stock share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of in-the-money stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method) and conversion of other securities such as convertible debt or convertible preferred stock. Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per-share results are not presented in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $636,096. This was due to management’s change in accounting estimate during the year ended June 30, 2017. The Company determined that all of the underlying notes were past due and in default, and that there was no active market for the Company’s common stock. Because of this lack of liquidity and market value, there was no derivative liability associated with these convertible notes.
Changes in the derivative liabilities during the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

At June 30, 2018, all $1.7 million of convertible promissory notes had matured, are in default and remain unpaid.
On July 22, 2013 and May 6, 2014, the Company issued to ASC Recap LLC (“ASC”) two convertible promissory notes with principal amounts of $25,000 and $125,000, respectively. These two notes were issued as a fee for services under a 3(a)10 transaction. While the Company continues to carry the balance of these notes on its balance sheet, management is disputing the notes and does not believe that the balances of these notes are owed. See Note 10 – Subsequent Events in the footnotes to the financial statements. The July 22, 2013 note matured on March 31, 2014 and a balance of $22,965 remains unpaid. The May 6, 2014 note matured on May 6, 2016 and remains unpaid. The notes are convertible into the common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion price equal to (i) 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the twenty days prior to conversion or (ii) fixed price of $0.15 or $0.30 per share.
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Company amended the conversion terms for twelve convertible noteholders. The amended notes totaled $139,225 in principal and were amended such that the conversion price is fixed at $0.09 per share, from conversion terms that were priced at a 50% discount of the average closing bid price per share of Common Stock during the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to any such conversion. For those notes that were converted immediately after the amendment, the Company recorded a debt conversion expense of $96,272, in accordance with guidance in ASC-470 for induced debt conversions. The Company recorded an expense of $96,272 as a loss on reconstruction of debt related to the amendments to these notes.

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES
The Company has not filed its corporate tax returns since fiscal 2007.
Due to recurring losses, the Company’s tax provision for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.
The difference between the effective income tax rate and the applicable statutory federal income tax rate is summarized as follows:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Statutory federal rate | (28.1 | )% | (35.0 | )% | ||||
State income tax rate, net of federal benefit | (3.6 | )% | (3.5 | )% | ||||
Permanent differences, including stock based compensation | 8.6 | % | (5.6 | )% | ||||
Change in valuation allowance | 23.1 | % | 44.1 | % | ||||
Effective tax rate | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % |
At June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company’s deferred tax assets were as follows:
June 30, 2018 | June 30, 2017 | |||||||
Tax benefit of net operating loss carry forward | $ | 6,244,000 | $ | 10,704,000 | ||||
Less: valuation allowance | (6,244,000 | ) | (10,704,000 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | $ | - |
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had unused net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $31.1 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. Net operating loss carryforwards expire through fiscal years ending 2037. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by carryforwards after a change in control (generally a greater than 50% change in ownership).
The Company’s ability to offset future taxable income, if any, with tax net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to the non-filing of tax returns and the impact of the statute of limitations on the Company’s ability to claim such benefits. Furthermore, changes in ownership may result in limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Due to these limitations, and other considerations, management has established full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforward, as the realization of any future benefits from these assets is uncertain.
The Company’s valuation allowance at June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $6,244,000 and $10,704,000, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance during the year ended June 30, 2018 was a decrease of approximately $4.5 million. The change in the valuation allowance during the year ended June 30, 2017 was an increase of $340,000. Effective December 22, 2017 a new tax bill was signed into law that reduced the federal income tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21.7% for the year ended June 30, 2018. Going forward the blended rate will be 25.4% for future years. The change in blended tax rate reduced the 2018 net operating loss carry forward deferred tax assets by approximately $4.5 million.

Contingencies
The Company accounts for contingent liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, Contingencies. This guidance requires management to assess potential contingent liabilities that may exist as of the date of the financial statements to determine the probability and amount of loss that may have occurred, which inherently involves an exercise of judgment. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. For loss contingencies considered remote, no accrual or disclosures are generally made. Management has assessed potential contingent liabilities as of June 30, 2018, and based on the assessment there are no probable loss contingencies requiring accrual or disclosures within its financial statements.
Legal Claims
The Company is subject to litigation, claims, investigations and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to any matters currently pending against the Company and intends to defend itself vigorously. The outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows, results of operations, or financial position.
