NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

HPIL Holding (referred to in this report as “HPIL” or the “Company”) (formerly Trim Holding Group) was incorporated on February 17, 2004 in the state of Delaware under the name TNT Designs, Inc. A substantial part of the Company’s activities was involved in developing a business plan to market and distribute fashion products. On June 16, 2009, the majority interest in the Company was purchased in a private agreement by Mr. Louis Bertoli, an individual, with the objective to acquire and/or merge with other businesses. On October 7, 2009, the Company merged with and into Trim Nevada, Inc., which became the surviving corporation. The merger did not result in any change in the Company’s management, assets, liabilities, net worth or location of principal executive offices. However, this merger changed the legal domicile of the Company from Delaware to Nevada where Trim Nevada, Inc. was incorporated. Each outstanding share of TNT Designs, Inc. was automatically converted into one share of the common stock of Trim Nevada, Inc. Pursuant to the merger, the Company changed its name from TNT Designs, Inc. to Trim Holding Group. On May 21, 2012, the Company changed its name to HPIL Holding. HPIL Holding intends that its main activity will be in the business of providing consulting services and of investing in differing business sectors.

 

The concentration of the Company has become the consulting services and the development of products related to the Brand License Agreement (see Note 5 for further discussion of the Brand License Agreement. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has yet to commence substantial operations. Expenses incurred from February 17, 2004 (date of inception) through March 31, 2017, relate to the Company’s formation and general administrative activities. In the course of its start-up activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects to incur operating losses in 2017. The Company has generated a limited amount of revenue and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. These factors and uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. All adjustments consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

 

The Company will continue targeting sources of additional financing and opportunities to produce profitable revenue streams, whether through sole or joint ventures, to provide for the continuation of its operations. The Company is also prepared to re-evaluate its expense load, if necessary, to determine whether any efficiency can be achieved prior to the commencement of substantial operations related to the Brand License Agreement (Note 5) or other potential operations identified by the Company. Additionally, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who is also the Company’s Corporate Secretary and Treasurer and Director and stockholder, has indicated his ability to provide financial support to the Company for the continuation of its operations, should it be necessary.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and are expressed in United States dollars.

 

Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements

 

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statement and should be read in conjunction with those annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or for any future period.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument.

 

 4 
 

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.

 

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company follows the ASC 360, which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, if future discounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the use of ultimate disposition of the assets are less than their carrying values, an impairment loss represented by the difference between its fair value and carrying value, is recognized.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company is engaged in research and development in respect to the Company’s Brand License Agreement with World Traditional Fudokan Shotokan Karate-Do Federation, a worldwide karate federation based in Switzerland (“WTFSKF”). Research and development costs are charged as an operating expense as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company entered into a brand license agreement (the “Brand License Agreement”) with WTFSKF. Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, WTFSKF has granted to the Company an exclusive, worldwide, transferrable license (the “License”) to use certain logos, names, and marks of WTFSKF (the “Marks”) and manufacture and sell certain products (clothing, accessories and sporting goods) bearing the Marks (see Note 5 for further discussion of the Brand License Agreement). The Company will amortize the License over the contractual life of the asset of 25 years. No amortization has been recognized as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, as the Brand License Agreement does not become effective until 2018.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss and comprehensive loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the year and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon assumed exercise of preferred stock provided the result is not anti-dilutive.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

  

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

 

 5 
 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This new standard provided guidance for the presentation of the disclosure of uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company’sadoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the unaudited interim financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB released ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transaction. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that that reporting period. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the unaudited interim financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross vs. Net). ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. ASU 2016-10 clarified the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations. These ASUs apple to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services. There ASUs are effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before interim and annual periods beginning after December 16, 2016. Entities have the choice to apply these ASUs either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect or applying these standards at the date of initial application and not adjusting comparative information. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligation and Licensing, to clarify the identification of performance obligation as well as the licensing implementation guidance.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies certain core recognition principles including collectability, sales tax presentation, and contract modification, as well as identifies disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This ASU provides eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2017. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on the statement of cash flows .

 

None of the other recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to significantly affect the Company.

 

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK

 

The Company filed an amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada on April 19, 2016, amending its Articles of Incorporation, Article IV - Capital Stock. The effect of the amendment was to cancel all 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), consisting of 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $8.75 per share; and 75,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $7 per share. The amendment was effective as of April 18, 2016, at which time there were no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Following the amendment, the Company has 400,000,000 shares of stock authorized for issuance (reduced from 500,000,000 shares authorized prior to the effect of the amendment), consisting solely of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

The Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Original Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“KCG”) on August 12, 2016. The Company and KCG executed an Amended and Restated Equity Purchase Agreement dated December 27, 2016 (the “Amended Equity Purchase Agreement”; together with the Original Equity Purchase Agreement, the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), which completely restates and makes minor revisions to the Original Equity Purchase Agreement, such as correcting the stated capitalization of the Company and extending the period of the Original Equity Purchase Agreement. The Company and KCG also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated August 12, 2016 (the “Registration Agreement”, and together with the Equity Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”). Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to KCG, from time to time as provided therein, and KCG would purchase from the Company shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) equal to a value of up to $5,000,000.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to KCG, and KCG shall purchase from the Company, the Shares upon the Company’s delivery of written notices to KCG. In exchange of KCG signing the Securities Purchase Agreements, the Company issued to KCG a Convertible Promissory Note (Note 6) in the principal amount of $215,000 as payment of a commitment fee to induce KCG to enter into the Agreements.

 

The aggregate maximum amount of all purchases that KCG shall be obligated to make under the Equity Purchase Agreement shall not exceed $5,000,000. Once a written notice is received by KCG, it shall not be terminated, withdrawn or otherwise revoked by the Company. The purchase price per share for each purchase of Shares to be paid by KCG shall be 70% of the lowest trading price (or if there are no recorded trades, the lowest closing price) during the Valuation Period (as defined and calculated pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement). KCG is not obligated to purchase any Shares unless and until the Company has registered the Shares pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (or on such other form as is available to the Company).

 

On November 9, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with GPL Ventures, LLC (“GPL”). The Company and GPL also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated November 9, 2016 (the “Registration Agreement”, and together with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to GPL, from time to time as provided therein, and GPL would purchase from the Company shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) equal to a value of up to $5,600,000. Pursuant to the Registration Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state laws with respect to all Shares issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to GPL, and GPL shall purchase from the Company, the Shares upon the Company’s delivery of written notices to GPL. The aggregate maximum amount of all purchases that GPL shall be obligated to make under the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not exceed $5,600,000. Once a written notice is received by GPL, it shall not be terminated, withdrawn or otherwise revoked by the Company. GPL is not obligated to purchase any Shares unless and until the Company has registered the Shares pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (or on such other form as is available to the Company), which is required to be effective within 11 months of the execution of the Agreements. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, each purchase of Shares must be in an amount equal to at least $100,000 and is capped at the lesser of (i) $175,000 or (ii) 200% of the average daily trading volume as calculated pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for each purchase of Shares to be paid by GPL shall be 80% of the lowest trading price (or if there are no recorded trades, the lowest closing price) during the Valuation Period (as defined and calculated pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement). In exchange of GPL signing the Securities Purchase Agreements, the Company issued to GPL a Convertible Promissory Note (Note 6) in the principal amount of $250,000 as payment of a commitment fee to induce GPL to enter into the Agreements.

 

On March 27, 2017, Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, (“KCG”) has claimed an event of default under a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $215,000 issued by the company pursuant to the Company’s failure to deliver shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a conversion notice served on the company. KCG has also alleged various defaults with reference to a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $60,000. As a result of these various alleged defaults KCG has sent the Company a claim in the sum of $2,608,572 as of March 27, 2017. KCG claims that the claim amount continues to increase in accordance to the terms of the notes. The Company is disputing the payment of the $215,000 note with Kodiak and is considering initiating an action against KCG for obtaining the note by fraudulent means and may claim damages as well. Management believes that this claim has no merit. There is no litigation currently pending. The Company issued 3,661,150 shares of treasury common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) related to the conversion of $40,800 convertible notes held by KCG during the period ended March 31, 2017.

Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, in consideration for the License, beginning in 2018, the Company will pay to WTFSKF an ongoing License Fee. Additionally, the Company issued to WTFSKF 752,000 shares of treasury common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company in accordance with the Brand License Agreement. WTFSKF has agreed to provide to the Company annual projected sales forecasts based on its membership and their expected needs for Products (the “Projected Sales”). The Brand License Agreement requires the License Consideration to be subject to renegotiation by the parties in the event that Projected Sales exceed actual sales of the Products by more than an agreed upon deviation percentage. Additionally, pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, the Company may require WTFSKF to either return the Shares or pay to the Company the market value of the Shares at the time of the execution of the Brand License Agreement (approximately $6,805,600), if the Company terminates the Brand License Agreement as a result of such deviations within the first 52 months after the execution of the Brand License Agreement. The initial term of the Brand License Agreement lasts until December 31, 2042, at which time the Brand License Agreement will automatically renew for successive 25 year terms unless and until either party provides notice of non-renewal or terminates the Brand License Agreement.

 

Impairment of Brand License Agreement

 

The Brand License of $6,805,600 was measured based on the fair value of the stock issued (on December 29, 2014, 752,000 common shares of HPIL Holding issued at $9.05 per share). Currently, based on the market value of the common shares, 752,000 shares would be equal to the value of $7,520 (752,000 common shares of HPIL Holding at $0.01 per share). In terms of measuring the Brand License on the value of the stock issued, the Company would have to write the value down to $7,520. Based on a qualitative assessment, the Company is uncertain of how its relationship with the WTFSKF will proceed in the future and thus based on this uncertainty, the Company deems it prudent to value the asset at the current market value of the stock held by the WTFSKF. The Company has simply recognized the potential of it losing the Brand License due to factors beyond its control and based on this risk has reassessed the value of the Brand License to be the recoverable amount of the potential return of shares during the year ended December 31, 2016. Based on the Company assessment of the value of the Brand License, the Company has determined the fair value of the Brand License to be $7,520 (752,000 common shares of HPIL Holding at $0.01 per share). No amortization has been recognized as of December 31, 2016, as the Brand License Agreement is not effective until 2018. As a result, an impairment loss of $NIL (December 31, 2016- $6,798,080) is included in the unaudied condensed interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss. In the event of the Company losing the Brand License, the Company would seek to reacquire this stock and is thereby assessing the value of the Brand License at the value of the stock as determined by the market. The impairment loss does not necessarily impact on the future expected cash flow associated with the Brand License or with the Company’s intent or ability to renew or extend the Brand License Agreement. It simply recognizes the risk that the Company believes is extant.

Addendum to Brand License Agreement to Acquire Broadcast Rights

 

On May 19, 2017, the Company entered into an addendum to the Brand License Agreement (the “Addendum”) with the WTFSKF whereby the Company acquired the television, radio and internet rights to the WTFSKF World Karate Championship and the International Karate Gasshuku. The term of the agreement is for the life of the Brand License Agreement. The Addendum further enhances the ability of the Company to develop the market under the Brand License Agreement and the Addendum. However, the Company has chosen to follow a prudent and vigilant course of action in writing down the value of the Brand License. The Company has considered and taken note of Section 350-30-35, the Subsequent Measurement Section that provides guidance on an entity’s subsequent measurement and subsequent recognition of an item. Situations that may result in subsequent changes to the carrying amount include impairment, credit losses, fair value adjustments, depreciation and amortization, and so forth. The Company has also taken note of Section 350-30-50, the Disclosure Section that provides guidance regarding the disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. In some cases, disclosure may relate to disclosure on the face of the financial statements.

NOTE 7 – CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY  

 

The Company accounted for the conversion option of the Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”), under which the conversion option meets the definition of a derivative instrument.

 

This conversion option derivative liability was measured at fair value on the dates of issue and at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, using a binomial lattice model, with changes in the fair value charged or credited, as applicable, to the unaudited condensed interim statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

The inputs into the binomial lattice model for each issuance and at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are as follows:

 

   June 28,   November 9,   December 9,   December 27,   December 31,   February 17,   March 31, 
   2016   2016   2016   2016   2016   2017   2017 
Closing share price  $2.50   $1.60   $1.60   $1.60   $1.60   $0.02   $0.02 
Conversion price  $1.25   $1.20   $0.80   $0.64    $0.64- $1.20   $0.01   $0.00 - $0.01 
Risk free rate   0.45%   0.72%   0.85%   0.89%   0.85%   1.27%   1.27%
Expected volatility   118%   118%   118%   118%   118%   118%   118%

Expected life   0.59 year    0.72 year    0.50 year    1 year    0.08 - 0.99 year    0.75 year    0.19 – 0.74 year 

 

The fair value of the conversion option derivative liability, as determined using the binomial lattice model, was $2,271,221 at March 31, 2017 ($507,668 – December 31, 2016). The change in the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability of $1,786,155 was primarily due to a decrease in the price of the Company’s common stock, and was recorded as a loss in the unaudited condensed interim statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the period ended March 31, 2017.

Overview

 

HPIL Holding (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is an early stage company originally incorporated on February 17, 2004 in the state of Delaware under the name TNT Designs, Inc. On October 7, 2009, we merged with and into Trim Nevada, Inc., a Nevada corporation, for the purpose of changing our domicile from Delaware to Nevada. As part of the merger, we changed our name to Trim Holding Group. On May 22, 2012, we changed our name to HPIL Holding to more fully reflect our current business operations. On July 18, 2012, the Company changed its business plan to focus on making investments in companies, whether public or private enterprises, in differing business sectors.. 

 

Business of the Issuer

 

HPIL Holding is a worldwide holding company. The Company is focused on investing in both private and public companies in differing business sectors. The Company does not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, acquires various types of business. The Company also evaluates intellectual properties and technologies for potential acquisition.

 

On December 29, 2014, the Company, entered into a Brand License Agreement (the “Brand License Agreement”) with WTFSKF, a worldwide karate federation based in Switzerland. Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, WTFSKF has granted to the Company an exclusive, worldwide, transferrable license (the “License”) to use certain logos, names, and marks of WTFSKF (the “Marks”) and manufacture and sell certain products (clothing, accessories and certain sporting goods) bearing the Marks (the “Products”). The Brand License Agreement will become operative in January of 2018.

 

On May 19, 2017, the Company entered into an addendum to the Brand License Agreement (the “Addendum”) with the WTFSKF whereby the Company acquired the television, radio and internet rights to the WTFSKF World Karate Championship and the International Karate Gasshuku. The term of the agreement is for the life of the Brand License Agreement. The Addendum further enhances the ability of the Company to develop the market under the Brand License Agreement and the Addendum.

 

Our principal business objective for the next twelve (12) months will be to begin exploitation of our Brand License Agreement Moreover, the Company will continue to concentrate on the development of the Brand License Agreement (see section (b) of this Item above) until it will commence in 2018. While the Company is still in the conceptual stages of the line of business that may be developed under the Brand License Agreement, we intend to explore potential manufacturing, distribution, and other strategic partnerships in connection with the Brand License Agreement. Additionally, over the next approximately 3 months, we intend to take additional steps necessary to bring the Product to market in a timely fashion, chiefly among them:

 

evaluate market demand for the Product, not only among WTFSKF members and fans, but possibly even beyond, and create marketing and sales strategies around the Product to reach our target consumer groups based on these evaluations;
evaluate and engage designers to develop Product concepts and designs consistent with the target consumer; and
evaluate manufacturing and supply chain options to efficiently bring branded Product to various markets throughout the world.

 

 13 
 

 

Our ability to develop a successful line of business with respect to the Brand License Agreement and related Products may be adversely affected by a number of factors, some of which may include:

 

our inability to adequately or accurately generate or measure demand in the market for the Products;
our inability to create or execute effective marketing and sales strategies around the Product to reach consumers and/or generate interest in and orders for the Product;
our inability to engage designers or develop Product concepts that are economical and appeal to the consumer;
our inability to achieve efficient manufacturing, supply chain, and/or distribution channels;
changes in the current business plan, as set forth above, based on our strategic market studies and evaluations or other currently unknown factors;
inadequate protection of the logos, names, and marks of WTFSKF that are licensed under the Brand License Agreement; or
other factors that may affect our ability to reach necessary production, supply, and/or distribution capacity in an efficient manner, including, without limitation, acts of God, changes in labor laws, work stoppages, or inability to engage the necessary or strategic business partners on satisfactory terms.

 

Moreover, the Company intends to continue to pursue its business plan of making investments in companies and intellectual properties and providing consulting service, and expects that it will continue on that business plan for the foreseeable future. While the Company is not currently actively marketing any services or products, it will continue on its business plan of actively seeking investment opportunities for the foreseeable future. Our ability to execute the current business plan may be adversely affected by a number of factors, some of which may include:

 

our inability to identify potential investment opportunities;
our inability to finance such investments on terms we believe are favorable to the Company;
our inability to negotiate acceptable or favorable terms for investment in identified opportunities;
our inability to adequately or accurately identify potential liability exposure and other risks related to investment opportunities;
our inability to effectively manage and incorporate new investments opportunities into the Company;
changes in the current business plan, as set forth above, based on our strategic market studies and evaluations or other currently unknown factors; or

other factors, within or outside of our control, that may affect our ability to execute our business plan in an efficient manner, including, without limitation, acts of God, changes in applicable laws, or inability to engage the necessary or strategic business partners on satisfactory terms.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are an early stage company focused on developing our business of evaluating for potential investment or acquisition both private and public companies, intellectual properties and technologies. Our principal business objective for the next twelve (12) months will be to begin exploitation of our Brand License Agreement and to continue to investigate potential business opportunities.

 

Net cash used in operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $(64,007) compared with (3,015) used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2017, was primarily the result of financing accounts receivable and a reduction in payables and accrued expenses. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016, was primarily the result of incurred operating expenses without sufficient current revenue partially offset by incurred accounts payable and accrued expenses generating a net loss.

 

Net cash used in investing activities. The Company did not engage in any activities generating or using cash flow that it classified as investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $64,568 compared with $Nil by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The cash flow provided by financing activities in three months ended March 31, 2017, was primarily attributable to an increase in notes payable. The Company did not engage in any activities generating or using cash flow that it classified as financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

In the course of its start-up activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects to incur an operating loss for the foreseeable future. The Company has generated a limited amount of revenue and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. These factors and uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 contained an emphasis of a matter paragraph stating this uncertainty. The unaudited condensed financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had negative working capital of $2,617,794 as of March 31, 2017.

 

The Company will continue targeting sources of additional financing and opportunities to produce profitable revenue streams, whether through sole or joint ventures, to provide continuation of its operations. Additionally, during the latter half of its fiscal year 2016, the Company took steps to reduce its expense load moving forward and is prepared to continue evaluating its expense load, if necessary, to determine whether any efficiency can be achieved prior to generation of revenues sufficient to support increased operations. Management believes the Company will be successful in achieving either additional financing or one or more additional revenue streams to support the continuation of its operations through March 31, 2018. Moreover, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who is also the Company’s Corporate Secretary and Treasurer and a Director and stockholder of the Company, has indicated his ability to provide financial support to the Company, should it be necessary. Despite the aforementioned developments in the Company’s financial standing, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve revenues sufficient to become profitable or that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Results of Operations

 

As the Company is an early stage company, it has commenced only limited operations and has yet to reach full operations; therefore, the Company has little operations to report at this time. The Company’s main focus has been on the development of its business plan. Aside from the execution of the two (2) consulting agreements during 2014 (both of which were terminated during the first quarter of 2015), and the Product Reseller Agreement (which was terminated during the fourth quarter of 2015), and entering into the Brand License Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has acquired a license to use certain logos, names, and marks of WTFSKF for commercial sales of certain Product (clothing, accessories and certain sporting goods) beginning in January of 2018, the Company has made no sales nor generated additional revenue and all expenses to date have related to the development of its business plan and other expenses related to the daily operations of a public company, investigation of acquisition targets  and beginning stages of business activities related to the Brand License Agreement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q due to limited accounting and reporting personnel and a lack of segregation of duties due to limited financial resources and the size of our Company. We will need to adopt additional disclosure controls and procedures prior to commencement of material operations. Consistent therewith, on an on-going basis we will evaluate the adequacy of our controls and procedures.

 

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities. At this time, however, management has not established a time table for when it intends to address the aforementioned material weaknesses.

 

(b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Except as described below regarding Nitin Amersey, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who is also the Company’s Corporate Secretary and Treasurer and Director and stockholder (“Amersey”), there are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past five years concerning our directors, or control persons which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

 

Mr. Amersey is the subject of an SEC order permanently enjoining him from being associated with any transfer agent, broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization as a result of the operations of Bay City Transfer Agency and Registrar, Inc. (“Bay City”).  The SEC did not seek to bar Mr. Amersey from serving as an officer or director of a public company.

 

In the Initial Decision Release No. 1125, Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-17405, entered by the Court on April 20, 2017, the Court found that Amersey, as a control person of Bay City, willfully aided and abetted and caused Bay City’s violations of Exchange Act Section 17(a)(3), which requires a transfer agent to make and keep records and file reports prescribed as necessary and appropriate; Section 17A(d)(1), which prohibits a transfer agent from engaging in any activity that contravenes rules prescribed by the Commission; Rules 17Ac2-1 and 17Ac2-2, which require a transfer agent to file Forms TA-1 and TA-2; Rule 17Ad-4, which specifies the recordkeeping procedures required of an exempt transfer agent, such as Bay City; Rule 17Ad-12, which requires a transfer agent to take specific measures to safeguard any funds or securities in its possession; and Rule 17Ad-17, which requires specific bookkeeping measures by a transfer agent with respect to lost security holders.  As a result, the Court ordered that:

 

(I)Bay City Transfer Agency and Registrar, Inc., and Mr. Amersey, shall cease and desist from committing or causing violations, and any future violations, of Sections 17(a)(3) and 17A(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rules 17Ac2-1, 17Ac2-2, 17Ad-4, 17Ad-12, and 17Ad-17.

 

(II)the transfer agent registration of Bay City Transfer Agency and Registrar, Inc., is revoked; and

 

(III)Mr. Amersey is permanently barred from being associated with any transfer agent, broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

 

The Initial Decision became a final decision and was effective as of June 15, 2017.

 

As mitigating factors, the Court found that “The violations were not egregious in that they did not involve fraud, deceit, or manipulation and did not cause harm to other persons or unjust enrichment to respondents” and that “Amersey has no prior disciplinary history.” In addition, it also found that “On these facts, a civil money penalty is not required and would, in view of the other sanctions ordered, amount to an unjustified punishment.” Furthermore, while Mr. Amersey was the Control Person for Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar Inc., Mr. Tom Curtis was President & CEO of Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar Inc. during all times relevant to the above violations referenced in the Initial Decision.

KCG has also alleged various defaults with reference to a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $60,000. The claimed defaults are the result of KCG’s inability to sell the Company’s common stock under Rule 144 due to the Company’s then delinquent filings. As a result of these various alleged defaults KCG has sent the Company a claim in the sum of $2,608,572 as of March 27, 2017. KCG claims that the claim amount continues to increase in accordance to the terms of the notes. The Company is disputing the payment of the $215,000 note with Kodiak and is considering initiating an action against KCG for obtaining the note by fraudulent means and may claim damages as well. There is no litigation currently pending. The Company issued 3,661,150 shares of treasury common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) related to the conversion of convertible notes held by KCG amounting to $40,800 in the first quarter of 2017.
