Transaction Information
Stock Purchase Agreement
On
September 19, 2016, the Company, entered into the Agreement with
Wainwright and the Wainwright Sellers whereby the Company agreed to
purchase the Wainwright Common Stock held by the Wainwright Sellers
in exchange for the Concierge Shares. At the closing of
the Transaction, Wainwright will become a subsidiary of the Company
and the Company will operate the business of Wainwright, including
USCF and USCF Advisors. The Company shall also continue to operate
its existing business operations as currently
constituted.
The
Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) on September 12, 2016, and is conditioned
upon, among other things, approval of the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby by the shareholders of the
Company. On September 19, 2016, shareholders holding greater than a
majority of the Voting Stock approved the Agreement and the
transactions thereby, including the issuance of the Concierge
Shares thereunder, via written consent in lieu of a stockholder
meeting.
Consideration:
As consideration for the Wainwright Common Stock held by the
Wainwright Sellers, the Company shall issue the Concierge Shares to
the Wainwright Sellers. The exchange ratio in the Transaction
was based upon the value of Wainwright agreed to by the Company and
Wainwright on the date of the Agreement of $85,500,000 and a
per-share price of Company Common Stock of $0.085 per share.
The Board concluded that issuance of
the Concierge Shares in exchange for the Wainwright Common Stock on
this basis would be a fair exchange for all parties and a benefit
to the Company shareholders.
Conditions to Closing
of Transaction: The
Closing shall occur on the later of (i) the date that is two
Business Days following the date on which the last of the
conditions to Closing set forth in Articles VIII and IX of the
Agreement have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by law,
waived by the relevant party, (ii) the 21st calendar day
following the date on which the Definitive Schedule 14C was mailed
to the Company’s shareholders, and (iii) such other time and
date as the parties may agree.
The
conditions to the Closing of the Transaction are more particularly
described in Articles VIII and IX of Exhibit A which is attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The conditions to
the Closing include, but are not limited to:
●
the accuracy of the
representations and warranties made by the parties to the
Agreement;
●
the performance by
the parties to the Agreement of their respective covenants,
including the delivery of certain documents and financial
information;
●
the absence of
litigation or other proceedings relating to or affecting the
Transaction;
●
the Company’s
receipt of a fairness opinion to the effect that, as of the date of
the Agreement, the consideration paid by the Company (i.e., the Concierge Shares to be issued
to the Wainwright Sellers) pursuant to the Agreement is fair, from
a financial point of view, to Company shareholders (the Fairness
Opinion was received on October 5, 2016);
●
the approval of the
Transaction by the shareholders of the Company (which occurred via
written consent on September 19, 2016);
●
in the case of
Concierge’s obligation to close, the approval of the
Transaction by an independent advisory committee, as discussed
below (the “Advisory Committee”), and a determination
the Advisory Committee that the Transaction is in the best interest
of the Company and its shareholders; and
●
in the case of the
Wainwright Sellers, the receipt of financial and other information
concerning the Transaction that is satisfactory to the Wainwright
Sellers.
Representations and
Warranties: The Purchase
Agreement includes customary representations and warranties. All
representations and warranties will survive Closing; provided,
however, that the right to be indemnified for any breach of a
representation, warranty, covenant, or other obligation shall be
limited as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Indemnification:
Under the Agreement, the Company and the Wainwright Sellers have
agreed, if the Transaction closes, but subject to various
conditions and limitations, to mutually indemnify each other for
losses and claims arising from breaches of representations,
warranties or covenants and breaches of obligations under the
Agreement, as applicable. Subject to certain exceptions, the rights
of the parties to be indemnified under the Agreement expire on the
first anniversary of the Closing and there is a general cap, equal
to approximately 10% of the purchase price, on the obligation of
the Company, on the one hand, and the Wainwright Sellers, on the
other hand, to indemnify the other party.
Purpose and Fairness of Transaction; Reports, opinions,
appraisals
Fairness
Opinion. The Board believes
that the Transaction (and resulting acquisition of Wainwright)
under the terms of the Agreement is in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders. In reaching the decision to enter
into the Agreement and close the Transaction, the Board considered
a number of factors. Prior to entering into the Agreement, the
Company engaged Cogent Valuation, Inc. (“Cogent”) to
provide an opinion as the fairness, from a financial point
of view, of the terms of the transaction, including the appropriate
exchange ratio of the number of Company shares to be exchanged for
each common share of Wainwright in the Transaction of the Transaction (a “Fairness
Opinion”). Specifically, Cogent agreed to provide the
following services:
1.
Perform a fairness analysis and document Cogent’s conclusions
of the Transaction’s fairness from a financial point of view
of the terms of the acquisition including the appropriate exchange
ratio of the number of Concierge common shares to be exchanged for
each common share of Wainwright in the Transaction;
and
2.
Derive the fair market value of Wainwright, and provide a valuation
report detailing the description of Cogent’s methodologies,
analysis and conclusion.
A
“fairness opinion” is a statement from a financial
expert that a transaction is “fair from a financial point of
view” to certain parties at interest. In theory, such
opinions should protect minority shareholders who are diffuse and
cannot have a direct voice in transactions. Fairness opinions serve
two purposes: 1) to assist and justify the decision making of
directors and 2) to inform shareholders in connection with the
tendering of shares or to agree to approve the terms of a corporate
transaction.
In
undertaking its analysis and arriving at its opinion, Cogent took
the following due diligence steps:
●
Review of all
documentation with respect to the proposed structure of the
Transaction;
●
Review of all
documentation relating to the internal decision process regarding
the Transaction and its
financing;
●
Analyze Wainwright
including a review of historical and projected performance, a
comparative analysis of the public and private pricing environment
and an assessment of the current value of Wainwright;
●
Assessment of the
impact the Transaction may have on the value of the Company;
and
●
Conduct the
appropriate financial due diligence, including numerous
conversations with representatives of the Company and other
relevant parties.
Cogent
arrived at its conclusions by determining that (1) the Transaction
including the purchase of Wainwright is not reducing or diluting
the value of the Company’s minority shareholders’
interest, (2) there are no alternatives to the Transaction which
would provide a readily identified more favorable risk/return
profile or greater net present value to the Company than the
proposed structure, and (3) there is no evidence of self-dealing in
the decision process.
Cogent
was previously retained by Wainwright to perform a valuation of
Wainwright in connection with an earlier, separate matter.
Cogent’s services for that matter had concluded prior to its
being retained in connection with the Transaction.
The
Fairness Opinion is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated
herein by this reference
Independent Advisory
Board. Additionally,
the Company has appointed
an independent advisory committee of four members (the
“Advisory Committee”), consisting of two of the
Company’s minority shareholders who are not associated with
Wainwright, one independent member who is not a shareholder, and
one minority shareholder who is also a director of the Company, to
review the Transaction documents and the Fairness Opinion in order
to determine whether the terms of the Transaction (including the
per-share price at which the Concierge Shares are to be issued and
the consideration to be received by the Wainwright Sellers under
the Agreement) are in the best interest of Concierge and the
Concierge shareholders. The Advisory Committee had no right or
ability to bind the Company, but the Agreement provides that,
unless waived by the parties, the approval of the Agreement and the
foregoing determinations by the Advisory Committee are conditions
to Closing. On October 3, 2016, after several days of review and
comments, the Advisory Committee accepted the draft Fairness
Opinion as submitted by Cogent and determined that the terms of the
Transaction are in the best interest of Concierge and the Concierge
shareholders. The Fairness Opinion was subsequently finalized and
formally presented on October 5, 2016. The members of the Advisory
Committee were not paid for their services.
Tax Consequences
The Company does not believe that you will recognize gain or loss
as a result of the Transaction. In addition the Company does not
believe that either the Company or Wainwright will recognize gain
or loss as a result of the Transaction. It is expected the
Transaction will qualify as a tax-free transaction under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If it so qualifies, the shareholders
of Wainwright will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the
Transaction to the extent that they receive shares of the Company
in exchange for shares of Wainwright. The Company will have a basis
in the shares of Wainwright it receives in the Transaction equal to
the basis that the shareholders of Wainwright had in the shares
immediately prior to the Transaction (increased by any gain
recognized in the Transaction). Neither the Company nor Wainwright
will seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect
to the Transaction. Tax matters are complicated. We urge you to
contact your own tax advisor to understand fully how the proposed
Transaction will affect you, including how any state, local or
foreign tax laws may apply to you.
History of the Transaction
During October of 2014, Nicholas Gerber, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of
Directors, contacted The Wallen Group, a management consulting firm
whose general partner is David Neibert, the Company’s Chief
Financial Officer. Mr. Gerber was looking for accounting assistance
for his firm. During their discussions, Mr. Gerber expressed his
interest in acquiring a controlling interest in a public company.
At the time, Mr. Neibert was the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer. After several months of negotiations and completion of the
necessary regulatory filings, Mr. Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, a
member of the Company’s Board of Directors, directly or
through related family interests acquired approximately 79% of the
Company’s Voting Stock in exchange for $3,000,000. The
Company’s Board of Directors was then restructured and the
Company’s then existing subsidiaries were sold.
During May 2015 and following the restructuring of the Company, the
first acquisition candidate was identified, Gourmet Foods, Ltd., a
New Zealand company. The acquisition was completed on August 11,
2015, in an all-cash transaction funded with the proceeds of
convertible debentures issued by the Company to Mr. Gerber and Mr.
Schoenberger and June 2, 2016, the Company completed its
acquisition of Brigadier Security Systems (“Brigadier”)
out of Canada. The purchase price for Brigadier was funded through
of the issuance of convertible debentures by the Company to by
Wainwright, Mr. Gerber, Mr. Schoenberger, and certain of their
related family interests. After the Brigadier acquisition and in
the furtherance of the Company’s desire to acquire profitable
companies, Mr. Neibert and Mr. Gerber discussed the possibility of
the Company’s acquiring Wainwright. After several weeks of
investigation, it was determined that an acquisition was possible
and that such an acquisition would be beneficial to both the
Company and Wainwright.
After deciding that an acquisition was feasible, the
parties’ respective Board of Directors discussed the purchase
price. It was determined that a share exchange was the best
approach. At the time, the Company’s stock was thinly traded.
As a result, the Company and Wainwright decided that the trading
price of the Company’s common stock, standing alone, was not
an accurate indicator of the Company’s value and did not
reflect the appropriate value of the Company’s business
including its recently acquired subsidiaries,. The Company’s
Board of Directors agreed that if the value of Wainwright was
approximately $85,000,000 as preliminarily determined, then it
would be fair to pay up to approximately 88% of the equity in the
Company for its acquisition.
The
rationale for the purchase price was as follows: At the time, the
Company’s stock was trading at approximately $0.04 per share
after reaching a high in February 2016 of nearly $0.13 per share
with 143,000,000 shares outstanding, implying a market cap of
between $5,700,000 and $18,600,000. Taking the mean value of
$12,150,000 for the Company and assuming Wainwright was worth
$85,000,000 it was assumed that 88% of the Company’s equity
would have to be exchanged in order to acquire the Wainwright
stock. With 143,040,970 of the Company’s voting shares
outstanding, the Company would have to issue 1,005,882,353 of the
Company’s voting shares in order to establish the proper
ratio of equity ownership. This further imputed a value of
approximately $0.085 per share to the Company’s stock to be
issued in the acquisition.
Mr.
Gerber proposed the foregoing to Wainwright Board of Directors. The
Wainwright Board of Directors decided to move forward by engaging
attorneys and other professionals to conduct due diligence and
prepare the documents necessary to consummate the proposed
acquisition. The Company’s Board of Directors did the same.
Thereafter, the attorneys
and other professionals for the Company and Wainwright prepared the
necessary documents as negotiate by the
parties.
Approval by the Company Board
In approving the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of the
Concierge Shares, the Board
took into consideration, among other factors, the terms of the
Agreement, the relationship of the parties, and the conditions to
Closing contemplated by the Agreement, including the receipt of the
Fairness Opinion and the approval or, and determinations by, the
Advisory Board. The Board concluded that the Transaction was fair
for all parties and a benefit to the shareholders of the
Company.
The
Board further believes that the acquisition of Wainwright will
provide the Company with a new profitable enterprise and the
acquisition is directly in alignment with the Company’s
planned strategic initiatives to diversify the Company’s
business offerings through mergers or acquisitions of
revenue-producing, profitable enterprises.
The
foregoing information and factors considered by the Board are not
intended to be exhaustive.

Concierge Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Pro-Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Statements
Note
1 – Description of the Transactions
On
September 19, 2016 Concierge Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
Wainwright Holdings, Inc. (“Wainwright”) and certain
shareholders of Wainwright (the “Wainwright Sellers”)
wherein the Wainwright Sellers would sell their shares in
Wainwright to the Company in exchange for a combination of the
Company’s Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Agreement provides that, subject to
certain conditions, the Company will offer the remaining holders of
Wainwright Common stock the opportunity to become a party to the
Agreement and sell the shares of Wainwright Common Stock held by
them on the terms set forth in the Agreement. Any such Wainwright
shareholder who becomes a party to the Agreement shall become a
“Wainwright Seller” for purposes of the Agreement and
this Definitive Schedule 14C.
If all holders of Wainwright Common
Stock become a party to the Agreement and the conditions to closing
under the Agreement are satisfied, at the closing of the
Transaction (the “Closing”), the Company will issue, in
exchange for the Wainwright Common Stock: (i) 818,799,976
shares of Company Common Stock, and (ii) 9,354,119 shares of
Company Preferred Stock (which preferred shares are convertible
into 187,082,377 shares of Company Common Stock) (the foregoing (i)
and (ii) referred to collectively as the “Concierge
Shares”).
Note
2 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are based upon the previously
filed audited financial statements of the Company for the year
ended June 30, 2016 and the financial statements of Wainwright for
the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2016. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial information was prepared under
United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“GAAP”).
Subsequent to June 30, 2016, and not included in these unaudited
condensed combined pro forma financial statements, the Company
borrowed an additional $200,000 from Wainwright Holdings. This
amount of intercompany debt will also be eliminated in subsequent
consolidated financial statements.
For financial reporting purposes, the transaction constituted a
transfer of assets between entities under common control and was
accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of interests
method of accounting. Under this method, the carrying amount of net
assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets of each
combining entity are carried forward to the consolidated balance
sheet of the combined entity and no other assets or liabilities are
recognized.
Note

respective Sellers’ right, title, and interest in the
Wainwright Shares, free and clear of any Liens, in exchange for the
Purchase Price described in Section 2.2.
(b) The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that, as of the date hereof, not all
Wainwright Shareholders have become a party to this Agreement and
therefore do not, as of the date hereof, constitute
“Sellers” under this Agreement (such Wainwright
Shareholders, the “Remaining Wainwright
Shareholders”). From and after the date hereof,
Concierge and Wainwright agree to use their respective commercially
reasonable efforts to discuss the terms of this Agreement with such
Remaining Wainwright Shareholders, to provide such Remaining
Wainwright Shareholders with such information regarding Concierge,
the Concierge Shares, Wainwright, this Agreement and the
Contemplated Transactions as may be reasonably necessary to permit
such Remaining Wainwright Shareholders to make an informed
investment decision regarding whether to become a party to this
Agreement, and shall afford such Additional Wainwright Shareholders
the opportunity to become a party to this Agreement and to sell the
shares of Wainwright Common Stock held by such Remaining Wainwright
Shareholders by executing a joinder to this Agreement. In the event
a Remaining Wainwright Shareholder determines, in its sole
discretion, to become a party to this Agreement by executing a
joinder to this Agreement, the effectiveness of such joinder shall
be conditioned upon such Remaining Wainwright Shareholder
completing an investor questionnaire provided by Concierge and the
receipt by such Remaining Wainwright Shareholder of such financial

Wainwright and this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions as

exemption therefrom. Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing,
upon the execution of a joinder to this Agreement by such Remaining
Wainwright Shareholder, (i) such Remaining Wainwright Shareholder
shall no longer be considered as such, and instead shall thereafter
constitute a “Seller” under this Agreement as if such
Remaining Wainwright Shareholder had been an original party to this
Agreement as of the date hereof, and (ii) the shares of Wainwright
Common Stock held by such Remaining Wainwright Shareholder shall
constitute “Wainwright Shares” for all purposes under
this Agreement.

entitled to receive a fraction of a Concierge Share.

power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being

to which it is a party. Each Subsidiary of Concierge is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in
which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used

11.10 Procedure for
Indemnification – Third Party Claims.
(a) Promptly after
receipt by an indemnified party under Section 11.2 or 11.3 of
notice of the commencement by a third party of any Proceeding
against it (a “Third Party
Claim”), such indemnified party will, if a claim is to
be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, promptly
give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such
Proceeding (a “Third Party Claim
Notice”).
(b) If any Third Party
Claim is brought against a party and such party gives Third Party
Claim Notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the
Proceeding forming the basis of the Third Party Claim, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such
Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the
indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the
indemnified party is advised in writing by its counsel that joint
representation would be inappropriate under applicable standards of
professional conduct), or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to
provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its
financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide
indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the
defense of such Proceeding and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to the indemnified party under this Article XI for any fees
of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense
of such Proceeding subsequently incurred by the indemnified party
in connection with the defense of such Proceeding. If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, no
compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the
indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent
unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of
Legal Requirements, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary
damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party. If a Third
Party Claim Notice is given to the indemnifying party and the
indemnifying party does not, within ten (10) days after the Third
Party Claim Notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party
of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the
indemnified party shall proceed with the defense of such Third
Party Claim; provided,
however, that no compromise or settlement of such claims may
be effected by the indemnified party without the indemnifying
party’s consent.
(c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that
there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely
affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary
damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the
indemnifying party, and at its sole cost and expense, participate
in the defense, compromise or settlement of such
Proceeding.
11.11 Procedure for
Indemnification – Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any
matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice
to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

Re:
Fairness Opinion for Concierge Technologies,
Inc.
Cogent Valuation
has been retained by Concierge
Technologies, Inc. a Nevada
corporation, (“Concierge” or the
“Company”) to render its opinion as to the fairness,
from a financial point of view, of the terms of a proposed
transaction on behalf of the minority common stockholders of
Concierge in connection with a proposed acquisition whereby
Concierge will acquire Wainwright
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, (“Wainwright”), and
Wainwright and its affiliated firms will operate as a subsidiary of
Concierge ( the “Transaction”). Concierge, founded in
1996 and traded under the symbol “CNCG” on the OTC QB
exchange, operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries: 1)
Gourmet Foods, Ltd. in Tauranga, New Zealand, a commercial-scale
manufacturer and distributor of New Zealand gourmet meat pies; 2)
Brigadier Security Systems, a security alarm servicing company
located in Saskatoon, Canada; and 3) Kahnalytics, Inc. a US based
provider of live streaming mobile video, vehicle tracking and
driver behavior data. Wainwright is a Delaware holding
company that holds the following two LLC’s as primary assets:
1) United States Commodity Funds, LLC, a commodity pool operator
formed in 2005 with approximately $4.7 billion in assets under
management; and 2) USCF Advisers, LLC, a registered investment
advisor that manages the Stock Split Index Fund with approximately
$5.0 million in assets under management.
The
Transaction
On September 19, 2016, Concierge entered
into a share purchase agreement with Wainwright and certain
Wainwright shareholders holding 97% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of Wainwright wherein those Wainwright
shareholders agreed to sell their Wainwright shares to Concierge in
exchange for newly issued Concierge shares. Nicholas Gerber
is a principal shareholder of both Concierge and Wainwright. Prior
to the closing, Concierge intends to make offers to acquire the
remaining Wainwright shares. The purchase price for the
purchase of the Wainwright shares, assuming that all of the
Wainwright shareholders ultimately agree to sell their Wainwright
shares, will be the issuance of a total of (a) 818,799,976 shares
of Concierge’s common stock, and (b) 9,354,118.85 shares of
Concierge’s Series B Preferred Stock. On the closing,
the Wainwright shareholders that have agreed to sell their
Wainwright shares will become shareholders of Concierge. Also on
the closing, Wainwright and its subsidiaries will become
subsidiaries of Concierge. Wainwright owns United States Commodity
Funds LLC, a commodity pool operator, and USCF Advisors LLC, a
registered investment advisor. The Wainwright acquisition is
consistent with Concierge’s overall goal to expand its
business by acquiring profitable, established
companies.

The
Transactional Analysis
Cogent Valuation has completed its analysis, concluded the fairness
of the Transaction from a financial point of view, and delivers
this fairness letter to the Board of Directors of Concierge on
behalf of the common shareholders of Concierge based, in part, on
the consideration of the material and information described herein
(the “Opinion”).
For the preparation
of the fairness opinion, Cogent Valuation has relied upon the
financial and securities information provided by the Company, or
its advisors and representatives, in the course of this
investigation, without further verification, as correctly
reflecting the Company’s business, assets, liabilities,
financial condition, operating results and future prospects for the
respective periods, except as specifically noted herein. In
addition, Cogent Valuation considered (1) the Company’s
operations and business condition prior to the Transaction; (2) the
Company’s historical financial statements for the fiscal
years ending June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2015 and the 10-Q
quarterly reports for the periods ending December 31, 2015 and
March 31, 2016; (3) financial projections for the three operating
subsidiaries of Concierge; (4) a copy of the Stock Purchase
Agreement by and among Concierge Technologies, Inc. and Wainwright
Holdings, Inc. et al; and (5) such other information, financial
information, analysis, documents, and operating data that we deemed
relevant to this engagement.
Cogent Valuation
assumed the information provided was complete and accurate, fairly
representing the financial position, prospects and related facts of
the Company as of August 15, 2016 (the “Date of
Value”). The validity of this valuation is
dependent upon the accuracy of the information provided by
Management and Management’s full and adequate disclosure of
all relevant information pertaining to the Company, its current
business, financial condition, and prospects and other factors
known by Management to be relevant to Concierge’s
business. Cogent Valuation used conceptually sound
methods in this fairness analysis and applied them in a manner
consistent with industry norms and practices.
In this analysis,
internal and external factors influencing the value and prospects
of Concierge as well as an ownership interest in the Company were
analyzed. Internal factors included the
subsidiaries’ operating performance, financial condition, and
future prospects. The characteristics of the
Company’s equity securities, including the various rights and
privileges of the Common and Series A and B of the Preferred Class,
and the Company’s capital structure were considered in this
fairness analysis.
Cogent Valuation
utilized the discounted cash flow analysis of the income approach
to determine the fair market value of each of the Concierge
subsidiaries pre-transaction and aggregated the values to develop
the fair market value of Concierge and together with the fair
market value of Wainwright, determined the post transaction value
of Concierge.

Valuation
of Wainwright Holdings, Inc.
Valuation
Methodology
Cogent Valuation
performed a valuation of the fair market value of Wainwright
Holdings, Inc. (“Wainwright”) as of August 15, 2016
(the “Date of Value”). Wainwright is a Delaware holding
company that holds the following two LLC’s (together the
“LLCs”) as primary assets: 1) United States Commodity
Funds, LLC (“USCF”), a commodity pool operator formed
in 2005 with approximately $4.7 billion in assets under management;
and 2) USCF Advisers, LLC (“Advisers”), a registered
investment advisor that manages the Stock Split Index Fund (TOFR),
which has approximately $5.0 million assets under management. In
addition to the LLCs, Wainwright holds an interest in one privately
held company, SFA Holdings, Inc. (“SFA Holdings”), as
well as promissory notes issued by Concierge Technologies, Inc. and
Type A Machines (together, the “Promissory Notes”) for
$1.0 million and $150,000, respectively. To calculate the fair
market value of Wainwright, Cogent Valuation performed a valuation
of the LLCs, SFA Holdings, and the operating cash flows of
Wainwright at the holding company level (the “Wainwright
Holdings’ Cash Flows”). The value of the LLCs, SFA
Holdings, and Wainwright Holdings’ Cash Flows were summed
with the face value of the Promissory Notes to determine the fair
market value of Wainwright as of the Date of Value. The valuation
of the LLCs, SFA Holdings, and Wainwright Holdings’ Cash
Flows are discussed in the following paragraphs.
United States Commodity
Funds
Cogent Valuation
valued USCF using the following three methodologies: 1) the Income
Approach, which was based on the H-Model1 to the calculate
the terminal value of Wainwright using Wainwright’s terminal
year cash flow; 2) the Market Approach; and 3) the Transaction
Approach.
For the Income
Approach, the H-Model was used to calculate a terminal value for
USCF. The terminal value of USCF was based on the projected cash
flows for USCF as of December 31, 2021. Management provided
projected income statements for the fiscal years ending
(“FYE”) December 31, 2016 through 2021. The inputs
applied in the H-model were as follows: a) net free cash flows in
2021 of $10,542,321; b)
equity discount rate of 17.4% calculated using the Capital Asset
Pricing Model; c) short term growth rate of 10.0%; d) long term growth rate of
5.0%; and d) H factor of
2.5. The above inputs
resulted in a future terminal value of $99.9 million, which was summed with the
future net cash of $5.7 million, and discounted to the Date of
Value using the derived 17.4% discount rate. The present terminal
value of $48.3 million was summed with the present value of interim
cash flows of $27.2 million to calculate an indicated fair market
value for USCF of $75.8
million (rounded) using the Income Approach.
1
The H-Model is a variation of the Dividend Discount Model, which
assumes that growth begins at a super-normal rate and declining
linearly over a specified period (“T”) to a stabilized
long-term growth rate. The H-Model is calculated as follows: Value
= NFCF*(1+long term growth rate)/(discount rate-long term growth
rate)+NFCF*(T/2)*(short term growth rate-long term growth
rate)/(discount rate-long term growth rate).

For the Market
Approach, Cogent applied a forward enterprise value to revenue
(“EV/Revenue”) multiple of 2.4x at the median of the range of the
Guideline Public Companies to USCF’s FYE 2016 revenues to
calculate an indication of value for Wainwright as of the Date of
Value. The Guideline Public Companies consist of eight publicly
traded companies operating in the asset management industry whose
operations, management, and financial structure were deemed to be
most similar to USCF. Applying a 2.4x EV/Revenue multiple to
USCF’s 2016 revenues of $24.9
million resulted in a $60.3 million enterprise value. The
$60.3 million enterprise value was summed with USCF’s net
cash as of the Date of Value of $5.7 million, resulting in an
equity value indication of $66.0 million. Cogent added a 28.0%
premium for control, which was selected from the minimum of the
range of the indicated premiums paid in transactions involving
majority interests in target companies in the asset management
industry. The indicated fair market value for USCF was $84.5 million (rounded) using the Market
Approach.
For the Transaction
Approach, Cogent selected an EV/Revenue multiple of 3.5x at the third quartile of the range
of 21 selected transactions involving majority interests of target
companies in the asset management industry (the
“Transactions”) to apply to USCF’s 2016 revenues
of $24.9 million, which resulted in an enterprise value of $87.2
million. The resulting enterprise value was summed with the future
net cash of $5.7 million and discounted to the Date of Value,
resulting in a present equity value of $87.5 million. The present
equity value was summed with the present value of interim cash
flows of $1.5 million, resulting in an indicated fair market value
of $89.0 million for USCF
(rounded) using the Transaction Approach.
Cogent’s
analysis produced the following indications of value under the
three methodologies described above: 1) $75.8 million from the
Income Approach; 2) $84.5 million for the Market Approach; and 3)
$89.0 million for the Transaction Approach. The three resulting
indications of value were averaged to calculate an indicated equity
value for Wainwright of $83.1
million.
In addition, USCF
holds equity investments of $973 in two Stifel, Nicolaus &
Company accounts (the “Stifel Investments”). The Stifel
Investments consist of commodity index funds and large cap stocks
and were valued by adjusting the net asset value
(“NAV”) of the underlying assets through application of
a discount for lack of control to determine the value of
USCF’s interest in the Stifel Investments at the marketable,
minority value. Cogent selected a group of comparable closed-end
specialized equity mutual funds (“Specialized CEFs”)
and used the market pricing of the Specialized CEFs as a proxy for
USCF’s interest in the Stifel Investments. A discount to NAV
multiple at the median of the range of the Specialized CEFs of
0.91x was selected to apply
to the $973 NAV of the Stifel Investments, resulting in fair market
value of $885.
The fair market
value of USCF of $83.1 million was summed with the fair market
value of the Stifel Investments of $885, resulting in a concluded
fair market value for USCF of $83.1
million.
USCF Advisers, LLC
Given the
early-stage nature of Advisers, Cogent valued the interest in
Advisers using the Income Approach based on the H-Model to
calculate a terminal value for Advisers. The terminal value of
Advisers was based on the projected cash flows for Advisers as of
December 31, 2022. Management provided projected income statements
for the FYE December 31, 2016 through 2021. Projections for FYE
2022 were estimated by Cogent. The inputs applied in the H-model
were as follows: a) net free cash flows in 2022 of $170,467; b) equity discount rate of
23.9% calculated using the
Capital Asset Pricing Model; c) short term growth rate of
80.0%; d) long term growth
rate of 5.0%; and d) H
factor of 2.5. The above
inputs resulted in a future terminal value of $2.6 million, which was discounted to
the Date of Value using the derived 23.9% discount rate. The
present terminal value of $927,512 was summed with the present
value of interim cash flows of negative $448,004 and the present
value of Advisers’ net operating loss benefit of $72,176 to
conclude the fair market value of Advisers of $552,000 (rounded).

SFA Holdings, Inc.
Management provided
Cogent with the marketable, minority value of the common stock for
SFA Holdings of $5.24 per share as of December 31, 2015 (the
“SFA Valuation Date”). The marketable, minority value
of the common stock was determined by the SFA Holdings’ Board
of Directors (“SFA Board of Directors”) based on the
valuation performed by GlassRatner, which determined that the fair
market value of SFA Holdings was between $17,860,000 to $19,740,000
as of the SFA Valuation Date. According the SFA Board of Directors,
the fair market value of SFA Holdings translates to a fully diluted
per share value ranging from $7.92 to $8.69. A minority discount
between 33% and 40% was applied by the Board of Directors to
conclude the fair market value of $5.24 per common share for SFA
Holdings. Based on the marketable, minority value of $5.24 per
common share, Cogent determined that the fair market value of
Wainwright’s interest in SFA Holdings in the form of 200,000
common shares is $1,048,000
(rounded).
Wainwright Holdings’ Cash
Flows
Management provided
projected operating costs for Wainwright at the holding company
level, which are required to maintain daily operations. Cogent
calculated the terminal value of Wainwright Holdings’ future
operating losses based on the FYE December 31, 2021 using the
Gordon Growth Model. The inputs applied in the Gordon Growth Model
were as follows: a) net free cash flows in 2021 of negative 207,500; b) equity discount
rate of 17.4% calculated
using the Capital Asset Pricing Model; and c) long-term growth rate
of 3.0%. The above inputs
resulted in a future terminal value of negative $1.5 million, which was discounted to
the Date of Value using the derived 17.4% discount rate. The
present terminal value of negative $720,965 was summed with the
present value of interim cash flows of negative $361,797 to
conclude the value for Wainwright Holdings’ Operating Losses
of $1,083,000
(rounded).
Conclusion
Cogent performed a
valuation of USCF, Advisers, SFA Holdings, and Wainwright
Holdings’ Cash Flows. The fair market values of USCF,
Advisers, SFA Holdings, and Wainwright Holdings’ Cash flows
were summed with the face value of Wainwright’s Promissory
Notes to conclude the fair market value for Wainwright of
$84,733,000 as of the Date of Value (see Table A below for summary
calculations).

The
Conclusion of Fairness
The terms of the Transaction include the issuance and exchange of
818,799,976 common shares and 9,354,118.85 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock in Concierge for the 1,741 common shares of
Wainwright Holdings, Inc., which represents 100% of its equity. The
exchange ratio of Concierge common shares for Wainwright common
shares, including the 20 for one conversion of Preferred Series B,
is 577,761 Concierge common shares for each Wainwright common
share. Subject to the attached statement of limiting conditions, it
is the opinion of Cogent Valuation that the terms of the
Transaction are fair to the common shareholders of Concierge from a
financial point of view as of August 15, 2016 (See attached

ANALYSIS, CONCLUSION, AND FAIRNESS OPINION SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED,
IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AS INVESTMENT ADVICE BY ANYONE. This opinion

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Business Development
Concierge
Technologies, Inc. (“Concierge” or sometimes the
“Company”), was incorporated in California on August
18, 1993 as "Fanfest, Inc." On August 29, 1995 its name was changed
to Starfest, Inc. (“Starfest”), and on March 20, 2002
its name was changed to “Concierge Technologies,
Inc.”
Pursuant
to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "MAS XX Purchase Agreement")
dated March 6, 2000 between MAS Capital, Inc., an Indiana
corporation, the controlling shareholder of MAS Acquisition XX
Corp. ("MAS XX"), an Indiana corporation, and Starfest,
approximately 96.83 percent (8,250,000 shares) of the outstanding
shares of common stock of MAS XX were exchanged for $100,000 and
150,000 shares of common stock of Starfest in a transaction in
which Starfest became the parent corporation of MAS
XX.
At the time of this transaction, the market price
of Starfest's common stock was $1.50 bid at closing on March 7,
2000 on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). Accordingly,
the consideration Starfest paid for the 96.83 percent interest in
MAS XX was valued at $325,000. Concierge, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, loaned Starfest the $100,000 cash portion of the
consideration evidenced by a no-interest, demand note. Michael
Huemmer, the president of Starfest, loaned to Starfest the 150,000
shares of common stock of Starfest that was the stock portion of
the consideration.
Upon
execution of the MAS XX Purchase Agreement and the subsequent
delivery of $100,000 cash and 150,000 shares of Starfest common
stock on March 7, 2000, to MAS Capital Inc., pursuant to Rule
12g-3(a) of the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), Starfest became
the successor issuer to MAS XX for reporting purposes under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) and
elected to report under the Act effective March 7,
2000.
MAS
XX had no business, no assets, and no liabilities at the time of
the transaction. Starfest entered into the transaction solely for
the purpose of becoming the successor issuer to MAS XX for
reporting purposes under the 1934 Exchange Act. Prior to this
transaction, Starfest was preparing to register its common stock
with the Commission in order to avoid being delisted by the OTCBB.
By engaging in the Rule 12g-3(a) transaction, Starfest avoided the
possibility that its planned registration statement with the
Commission would not be fully reviewed by the Commission's staff
before an April 2000 deadline, which would result in Starfest's
common stock being delisted on the OTCBB.
An
agreement of merger was entered into between Starfest and
Concierge, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on January 26, 2000. The
proposed merger was submitted to the shareholders of each of
Starfest and Concierge, Inc., pursuant to a Form S-4
Prospectus-Proxy Statement filed with the Commission.
As
described in Starfest’s Form 8-K filed on April 2, 2002, with
the Commission (Commission File No. 000-29913), the shareholders of
Starfest and Concierge did approve the merger, and the merger was
legally effected on March 20, 2002.
Pursuant
to the agreement of merger between Starfest and
Concierge,
●
Starfest
was the surviving corporation,
●
The
shareholders of Concierge received pro rata for their shares of
common stock of Concierge, 99,957,713 shares of common stock of
Starfest in the merger, and all shares of capital stock of
Concierge were cancelled,
●
The
fiscal year-end of the corporation was changed to June
30,
●
The
officers and directors of Concierge became the officers and
directors of Starfest, and
●
The
name of Starfest was changed to "Concierge Technologies,
Inc."
Our Business
Concierge
conducts business primarily through its wholly-owned operating
subsidiaries. The operations of Concierge’s wholly-owned
subsidiaries are more particularly described herein but are
summarized as follows:
●
Kahnalytics,
Inc., a US based company, captures and presents data from
vehicle-mounted camera devices equipped for
live-streaming.
●
Gourmet
Foods, Ltd., a New Zealand based company, manufactures and
distributes New Zealand meat pies on a commercial
scale.
●
Brigadier
Security Systems, a Canadian based company, sells and installs
commercial and residential alarm monitoring systems. These
activities are conducted in the US, New Zealand and Canada
respectively.
On
May 5, 2004 we acquired all of the outstanding and issued shares of
Planet Halo, a privately held Nevada corporation.
On
June 5, 2007 Planet Halo launched its first wireless broadband
network designed for subscription access to the Internet. The
second such network was completed in Ventura, California during the
2007-2008 fiscal year. Planet Halo continued to operate and expand
the subscriber base until encountering insurmountable competition
from disruptive technologies. The wireless business was
discontinued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, and a
transition was made to research and development activities for
in-vehicle video recording devices. In January 2013 we sold all of
our interest in Planet Halo through a stock redemption agreement
wherein a holder of Concierge Series B, Voting, Convertible
Preferred stock exchanged a portion of those shares for all of the
issued and outstanding stock in Planet Halo.
On January 23, 2008 we acquired all of the
outstanding and issued shares of Wireless Village, a privately held
Nevada corporation based in Cleveland, Ohio. Wireless
Village’s assets included computer hardware, software, domain
names, existing radio site infrastructure, and expertise in
designing, operating, managing and maintaining wireless and wired
networks, including video security systems. Wireless Village began
transitioning to the business of mobile incident reporting, or
“black box” technology, for vehicles during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2010. During September 2010 Wireless Village
offered three knowledgeable individuals, a product manufacturer,
and an industry lobbyist an equity stake in the company in exchange
for providing their services and expertise, along with a potential
client list, exclusively to Wireless Village. Accordingly, on
October 8, 2010, we conveyed approximately 49% of Concierge’s
equity in Wireless Village, in the aggregate, to the aforementioned
group. As a result the focus of Wireless Village was redirected to
the business of mobile incident reporting technology and sales. A
fictitious business name of 3rd
Eye Cam was adopted and filed in the
State of Nevada and, subsequent to a trade mark dispute settlement,
that name was discontinued in favor of the fictitious name Janus
Cam. The company then operated from leased offices in South San
Francisco, CA.
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, Concierge, through a stock
exchange agreement, acquired all of the shares owned by the
minority shareholders of Wireless Village in exchange for shares of
Concierge Series B, Voting, Convertible Preferred stock. As of June
30, 2014, Wireless Village was a wholly owned subsidiary of
Concierge and its only operating subsidiary.
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, we entered into a Stock
Redemption Agreement (the “SRA”) wherein we agreed to
sell all of the issued and outstanding shares in Wireless Village
to the executive management team of Wireless Village in exchange
for the redemption of 68,000,000 shares of Concierge’s common
stock held by the buyers plus a forgiveness of intercompany debt
totaling $344,052 owed to us by Wireless Village. As a further
condition of the SRA a certain segment of the Wireless Village
business was to be retained by Concierge through a non-exclusive
distribution agreement. The transaction closed on May 7,
2015.
On
May 26, 2015, a new wholly-owned subsidiary named Kahnalytics, Inc.
(“Kahnalytics”), was established in the State of
California for the purpose of taking on the segment of the business
retained in the spinoff of Janus Cam and to direct resources
towards the further development of data processing capabilities
intended for risk management used by vehicle insurance
companies.
On
August 11, 2015, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding
stock in Gourmet Foods, Ltd., a New Zealand corporation
(“Gourmet Foods”) located in Tauranga, who is a
commercial-scale manufacturer of New Zealand meat pies under the
brand names “Ponsonby Pies” and “Pat’s
Pantry”. Gourmet Foods distributes its products through major
grocery store chains, convenience stores, small restaurants and
gasoline station markets. The purchase price of $1,753,428 was paid
in cash.
On
June 2, 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock
in Brigadier Security Systems, a Canadian corporation
(“Brigadier”) located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring and security systems
to commercial and residential customers under brand names
“Brigadier Security Systems” and “Elite
Security” throughout the province of Saskatchewan with
offices in Saskatoon and Regina. The all-cash purchase price was
$1,540,830.
Competition.
Our potential competitors include
larger, better financed companies that offer products similar to
ours. In particular, our foreign subsidiaries face stiff
competition with respect to their product and service offerings.
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial,
technical, and human resources than we do, as well as greater
experience in the discovery and development of products and the
commercialization of those products. Our competitors’
products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and
sold, than any products we may commercialize and may render our
products obsolete or non-competitive before we can recover the
expenses of their commercialization. Our larger competitors also
enjoy a much wider and entrenched market share making it
particularly difficult for us to penetrate certain market segments
and even if penetrated, might make it difficult to maintain. We
anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as
new products and new competitors enter the market. However, with
respect to the market share we currently enjoy, we believe that our
core customers will remain loyal. We will continue to strive to
capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on
quality.
Governmental Approval of
Principal Products.
No governmental approval is required in the U.S. for Concierge's
products.
Government
Regulations. There
are no governmental regulations in the U.S. that apply to
Concierge's sale of subscriptions to its Kahnalytics live-streaming
data services, and no specific license or approvals are required,
with the exception of adoption by local industry associations or
municipalities on a case-by-case basis of the devices meeting
suitability for purpose standards.
Dependence on Major
Customers and Suppliers. Concierge, through Kahnalytics as a
licensed user of a proprietary software application, is dependent
on the continued support of this online platform and the adherence
to the license contract terms between Kahnalytics and the
foreign-based licensor. Kahnalytics is also largely dependent on
its single-source sales channel to continue to expand its dealer
network of resellers who, in turn, activate subscribers to the
Kahnalytics service. Hardware sold by Kahnalytics is currently
supplied by one source, however in the event this source proves to
be inadequate there are other alternative sources of equal or
comparable devices as needed by Kahnalytics. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2015 Kahnalytics had just one customer accounting
for 100% of its sales. Correspondingly, Kahnalytics had only two
suppliers of the hardware it sold with the larger of the suppliers
accounting for 92% of the cost of goods sold for fiscal year ended
June 30, 2015. Sales of these products were discontinued during the
current fiscal year.
Concierge, through
Brigadier Security Systems, is dependent upon its contractual
relationship with the alarm monitoring company who purchases the
monitoring contracts and provides monitoring services to
Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is
terminated Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source
of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself.
Management believes that the contractual relationship is
sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions
available should the need arise. Sales to the two largest customers
totaled 55% of the total revenues for the one-month period ended
June 30, 2016, and accounted for approximately 38.6% of accounts
receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30,
2016.
Concierge, through
Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross
revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience
stores, 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is
dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of
Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these
major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet
Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient
time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing
business. For the 11-month period ending and balance sheet date of
June 30, 2016, our largest customer in the grocery industry, who
operates through a number independently branded stores, accounted
for approximately 14% of our gross sales revenues and 34% of our
accounts receivable. The second largest in the grocery industry
accounted for approximately 10% of our gross revenues and 12% of
our accounts receivable. In the gasoline convenience store market
we supply two major accounts. The largest is a marketing consortium
of gasoline dealers accounting for approximately 44% of our gross
sales revenues and 24% of our accounts receivable. The second
largest are independent operators accounting for approximately 13%
of gross sales and 17% of accounts receivable. The third category
of independent retailers accounted for the balance of our gross
sales revenue however the group is fragmented and no one customer
accounts for a significant portion of our revenues. Gourmet Foods
is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative
sources are available in the local market place should the need
arise.
Seasonality.
There should be no seasonal aspect to Concierge’s
business.
Research and
Development.
Concierge expended no significant amount of money on research and
development during fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.
Environmental
Controls. Concierge
is subject to no environmental controls or restrictions that
require the outlay of capital or the obtaining of a permit in order
to engage in business in the US. In New Zealand, Gourmet Foods is
subject to local regulations as are usual and customary for those
in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution
business.
Patents, Trademarks,
Copyrights and Intellectual Property. Concierge has trademarked its Personal
Communications Attendant. It has no patents on the product. Gourmet
Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered
trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd.
Number of
Employees. On June 30, 2016, we employed no persons full time
and relied solely on independent sales personnel, commissioned
agents, contracted service providers and consultants to perform
additional support and administrative functions in the US. Gourmet
Foods employs approximately 45 persons in New Zealand and Brigadier
employs approximately 19 persons in Canada.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
We
own no plants or real property.
Facilities
Our
administration offices are housed by our Chief Financial Officer,
David Neibert, whose mailing address is 29115 Valley Center Rd.,
K-206, Valley Center, CA 92082. The Company pays no rent and has no
lease obligations. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Brigadier, rents
facilities in Saskatoon and Regina, Canada. Our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, rents facilities in Tauranga, New
Zealand. We believe that the facilities described herein are
adequate for our current and immediately foreseeable operating
needs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
On
May 6, 2002, a default judgment was awarded to Brookside
Investments Ltd. (“Brookside”) against, jointly and
severally, our company, Allen E. Kahn, and The Whitehall Companies
in the amount of $135,000 plus interest and legal fees. Concierge
did not defend against the complaint by Brookside, which alleged
that Brookside was entitled to a refund of its investment as a
result of a breach of contract. Brookside had entered into a
subscription agreement with Concierge, Inc. that called for, among
other things, the pending merger between Starfest and Concierge,
Inc. to be completed within 180 days of the investment. The merger
was not completed within 180 days and Brookside sought a refund of
its investment, which Concierge was unable to provide.
As of May 6,
2012, the judgment had lapsed and there is no further effect.
Although the judgment is no longer enforceable against Concierge,
and Concierge is no longer domiciled in the state of jurisdiction
where the judgment was entered, the amount of $135,000 continues to
be listed among the accrued expenses of the
company.

Holders
On
June 30, 2016, there were approximately 353 registered holders of
record of our common stock.
Dividends
We have had no
retained earnings and have declared no dividends on our capital
stock. Under Nevada law, a company - such as our company - can pay
dividends only
●
from
retained earnings, or
●
if
after the dividend is made,
●
its
tangible assets would equal at least 11/4 times its liabilities,
and
●
its
current assets would at least equal its current liabilities,
or
●
if the
average of its earnings before income taxes and before interest
expenses for the last two years was less than the average of its
interest expenses for the last two years, then its current assets
must be equal to at least 11/4 times its current
liabilities.
Our strategy on
dividends is to declare and pay dividends only from retained
earnings and only when our Board of Directors deems it prudent and
in the best interests of the company to declare and pay
dividends.
Penny Stock Regulations
Our
common stock trades on the OTC Markets QB Exchange at a price less
than $5 a share and therefore is subject to the rules governing
"penny stocks."
A
"penny stock" is any stock that:
●
sells
for less than $5 a share.
●
is
not listed on an exchange or authorized for quotation on The Nasdaq
Stock Market, and
●
is
not a stock of a "substantial issuer." We currently have net
tangible assets of at least $2 million which would qualify us as a
“substantial issuer”.
There
are statutes and regulations of the Commission that impose a strict
regimen on brokers that recommend penny stocks.
The Penny Stock Suitability Rule
Before
a broker-dealer can recommend and sell a penny stock to a new
customer who is not an institutional accredited investor, the
broker-dealer must obtain from the customer information concerning
the person's financial situation, investment experience and
investment objectives. Then, the broker-dealer must "reasonably
determine" (1) that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for
the person and (2) that the person, or his advisor, is capable of
evaluating the risks in penny stocks.
After
making this determination, the broker-dealer must furnish the
customer with a written statement setting forth the basis for this
suitability determination. The customer must sign and date a copy
of the written statement and return it to the
broker-dealer.
Finally
the broker-dealer must also obtain from the customer a written
agreement to purchase the penny stock, identifying the stock and
the number of shares to be purchased.
The
above exercise delays a proposed transaction. It causes many
broker-dealer firms to adopt a policy of not allowing their
representatives to recommend penny stocks to their
customers.
The
Penny Stock Suitability Rule, described above, and the Penny Stock
Disclosure Rule, described below, do not apply to the
following:
●
transactions
not recommended by the broker-dealer,
●
sales
to institutional accredited investors,
●
transactions
in which the customer is a director, officer, general partner, or
direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 5 percent of any
class of equity security of the issuer of the penny stock that is
the subject of the transaction, and
●
transactions
in penny stocks by broker-dealers whose income from penny stock
activities does not exceed five percent of their total income
during certain defined periods.
The Penny Stock Disclosure Rule
Another
Commission rule - the Penny Stock Disclosure Rule - requires a
broker-dealer, who recommends the sale of a penny stock to a
customer in a transaction not exempt from the suitability rule
described above, to furnish the customer with a "risk disclosure
document." This document is set forth in a federal regulation and
contains the following information:
●
A
statement that penny stocks can be very risky, that investors often
cannot sell a penny stock back to the dealer that sold them the
stock,
●
A
warning that salespersons of penny stocks are not impartial
advisers but are paid to sell the stock,
●
The
statement that federal law requires the salesperson to tell the
potential investor in a penny stock -
●
the
"offer" and the "bid" on the stock, and
●
the
compensation the salesperson and his firm will receive for the
trade,
●
An
explanation that the offer price and the bid price are the
wholesale prices at which dealers are willing to sell and buy the
stock from other dealers, and that in its trade with a customer the
dealer may add a retail charge to these wholesale
prices,
●
A
warning that a large spread between the bid and the offer price can
make the resale of the stock very costly,
●
Telephone
numbers a person can call if he or she is a victim of
fraud,
●
to
use caution when investing in penny stocks,
●
to
understand the risky nature of penny stocks,
●
to
know the brokerage firm and the salespeople with whom one is
dealing, and
●
to
be cautious if one’s salesperson leaves the
firm.
Finally,
the customer must be furnished with a monthly statement including
prescribed information relating to market and price information
concerning the penny stocks held in the customer's
account.
Effects of the Rule
The
above penny stock regulatory scheme is a response by the Congress
and the Commission to known abuses in the telemarketing of
low-priced securities by "boiler shop" operators. The scheme
imposes market impediments on the sale and trading of penny stocks.
It has a limiting effect on a stockholder's ability to resell a
penny stock.
Our
shares likely will trade below $5 a share on the OTC Markets
exchange and be, for some time at least, shares of a "penny stock"
subject to the trading market impediments described
above.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Outstanding Stock
Options
The
following sets forth certain information concerning securities
which were sold or issued by us without the registration of the
securities under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on
exemptions from such registration requirements within the past
three years:
On
February 19, 2014, we issued 53,571 unregistered shares of our
common stock to a holder of a note receivable from Janus Cam as a
fee in exchange for an agreement to extend the maturity date of the
note receivable. The transaction was recorded as an expense of $750
based on the market value of our stock as of the date of issue. We
have also issued shares of common stock in settlement of
convertible debentures as detailed in the following paragraphs. The
issued shares were unregistered and issued as per the

On February 18,
2014, we entered into a series of agreements, including a
convertible debenture, that resulted in a funding of $53,000. The
note was convertible, at the option of the debenture holder, to
restricted common shares after August 18, 2014, at a conversion
price calculated on a prescribed discount to the trailing 10-day
volume weighted average market price (“VWAP”) of our
shares on the date of conversion. During the initial 6 months from
the date of the note we may repay the principal plus accrued
interest at the rate of 8% per annum by applying a pre-payment
penalty determined on a sliding scale tied to the aging of the
note. After the initial 6-month period had elapsed we could not
repay the note until its maturity date on November 18, 2014, at
which time the note principal and interest became due and payable
without pre-payment penalty. We identified embedded derivatives
related to the convertible debenture. These embedded derivatives
included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of
derivative financial instruments requires that we record fair value
of the derivatives as of the inception date of the convertible
debenture and fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, at the election of the
debenture holder, we converted $28,000 of the principal to equity
through issuance of 4,346,247 shares of common stock. During the
quarter ended December 31, 2014, at the election of the debenture
holder we converted $25,000 of the principal plus $2,120 of accrued
interest to equity through issuance of 5,424,000 shares of common
stock. The debenture was paid in full as of October 10, 2015, and
thus no derivative expense or fair value of the embedded derivative
was recorded for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
On
January 1, 2013, we consolidated all outstanding notes payable due
a related party into one loan agreement containing certain
conversion features whereby the note holder could convert the
principal amount of the loan, $204,700 comprised of the sum total
of the principal amounts of the individual notes, $122,000, plus
$82,700 in accrued interest applicable to those notes, together
with accrued interest on the principal at the rate of 4.944% per
annum, into shares of our common stock at the conversion rate of
$0.02 per share. The note is unsecured and became due and payable
on January 1, 2015. The accrued interest on this $204,700
convertible debenture as of December 31, 2014 was $20,241. There
was no beneficial conversion feature involved in the new note. On
December 19, 2014, we entered into an amendment to the debenture
that allowed for the maturity date to be extended to June 1, 2015,
and provided us with rights to settle the debenture in full, upon
completion of an equity investment in excess of $1,500,000, by
payment of $122,000 in cash and issuance of 8,270,000 shares of
common stock valued at $0.01 per share to the debenture holder. On
January 26, 2015, we exercised those rights and paid the debenture
in full. The transaction resulted in a gain on the issuance of
shares of $69,861 as the fair market value of a share of our common
stock at December 19, 2014, was $0.004. The gain resulted for a
related party, thus it was recorded in additional paid in capital
account.
We sold the following shares of our Series B
Convertible, Voting, Preferred Stock during the last three years
without registering the shares. Each share of Series B
Convertible, Voting, Preferred Stock is convertible into 20 shares
of common stock and carries a vote equal to 20 shares of common
stock in all matters brought before the shareholders for
vote.

All
of the above unregistered sales were made pursuant to the exemption
from registration provided by the Commission’s Regulation D,
Rule 506. All purchasers were either accredited investors or, if
not, were provided copies of our recent filings with the Commission
including financial statements meeting the requirements of the
Commission’s Item 310 of Regulation S-B. All purchasers were
provided the opportunity to ask questions of our
management.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Some of the information contained in this Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and elsewhere in this report includes forward-looking
statements based on our current management’s expectations.
There can be no assurance that actual results, outcomes or business
conditions will not differ materially from those projected or
suggested in such forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors, including, among others, our limited operating history,
unpredictability of future operating results, competitive pressures
and the other potential risks and uncertainties.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto
and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing and by more
detailed financial information appearing elsewhere. See "Financial
Statements."
The
Company, through Planet Halo and Wireless Village, had been selling
subscriptions to its wireless Internet access service in various
increments, including daily, weekly, monthly and yearly since 2007.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, we completed the
transition away from this business and refocused our efforts,
through our majority owned subsidiary Wireless Village dba/Janus
Cam, on the sale and distribution of mobile video surveillance
systems, generically known as “drive cams”. During the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we sold Planet Halo to a
shareholder through a stock redemption agreement and we acquired
all of the minority owned shares of Wireless Village through a
stock-for-stock exchange. Having Wireless Village as a wholly-owned
subsidiary for 2 years produced operating losses and we elected to
raise additional working capital through equity as well as change
our strategic focus. Accordingly, during the fiscal year ended June
30, 2015, we raised $3 million in cash, sold Wireless Village to
its executive management team through a stock redemption agreement,
established Kahnalytics as our wholly-owned subsidiary in order to
carry on certain profitable aspects of the former Wireless Village
line of business, acquired Gourmet Foods, and acquired Brigadier.
The acquisition of Gourmet Foods was completed on August 11, 2015,
and the acquisition of Brigadier on June 2, 2016, both consummated
as cash transactions. As of June 30, 2016, our financial statements
are representative of the operating results of these three
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Kahnalytics
On
May 26, 2015, we established a new wholly-owned subsidiary
domiciled in the state of California and named Kahnalytics, Inc.
(“Kahnalytics”). Kahnalytics took over the business of
selling cameras, installation and support services to the insurance
industry, a business segment formerly addressed by Janus Cam, but
then retained by Concierge as part of the Stock Redemption
Agreement.
During
the period July 1, 2015, through October 1, 2015, Kahnalytics
purchased cameras, various other hardware items, and installation
services for sale to specific insurance companies, and ultimately
for installation into insured’s vehicles. The hardware items
are either listed in inventory if held beyond the close of the
current accounting period, or summarized as “cost of goods
sold” when sold. Inventory orders which have been paid for,
or partially paid for, in advance of receipt are classified as
“Advance to Suppliers.” Generally, hardware is sold to
customers who require delivery and installation of the product in
their vehicles. The charges for services such as these are included
in the bundled, installed, sales price reflected on sales invoices
and accounts receivable. The revenues for Kahnalytics for the years
ended June 30, 2016, for camera and related sales were $120,430 as
compared to the year ending June 30, 2015, where sales were
$95,057. During October 2015 Kahnalytics moved away from the camera
sales segment and refocused its business towards the capture of
live-steaming data from vehicle camera devices. As a result, the
remaining inventory of cameras and SD cards were deemed
discontinued products and their combined value (being lower of cost
or market) was impaired by $48,330.
By
obtaining an exclusive software license and partnering with a
camera importer/distributor as a channel-to-market, Kahnalytics
began the business of hosting a web-based server that subscribers
could access to view their camera video files, vehicle location,
speed and event triggers in real time. The system was ready to
launch by June 2016. To facilitate the sales process and entice
customers to the online subscription service, Kahnalytics
implemented a hardware subsidy program and offered a wireless data
plan that was resold to subscribers of the service, called the
Kahnalytics Fleet Management Service or “FMS”. Two
types of services were offered, 1) a FMS basic subscription plan
where subscribers provided their own wireless connection to the FMS
and 2) a FMS data plan where subscribers were provided hardware
needed to connect wirelessly to the Internet and also charged a
monthly fee for the air time usage. Kahnalytics also charged a
subsidized price of $50 per each wireless hardware device used in
creating the wireless connection. For the year ended June 30, 2016,
the total revenues from FMS related hardware sales was $2,250.
Kahnalytics purchases data plans from a network reseller and, in
turn, resells that plan to its subscribers. For the year ended June
30, 2016, sales of FMS basic subscriptions were $480 and FMS data
plans were $0. There were no FMS related subscription or hardware
sales for the year ended June 30, 2015. Hardware sales of cameras
and SD cards for the year ended June 30, 2016, were $117,700 as
compared to $95,057 for the year ended June 30, 2015. Other income
for the year ended June 30, 2016, was $81 and comprised of
adjustments to sales tax liability as compared to $0 for the year
ended June 30, 2015. Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016, were
$2,640 as compared to $95,417 as of June 30, 2015. The difference
is attributed to the discontinuation of most hardware sales during
the current fiscal year and the focus on subscription services
instead, which results in less gross revenues overall rather than
any significant change in the aging of accounts receivable. Net
loss after the impairment of inventory of $48,330 and provision for
income tax of $800 was $60,612 as compared to a net loss for the
year ended June 30, 2015 of $10,332.
Gourmet Foods
Gourmet Foods
Limited (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current
form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd. (“Pats
Pantry”)). Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and
sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and
slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New
Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and
service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand.
Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch
bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however
they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in
comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and
retailers. We purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Gourmet Foods effective as of August 1, 2015, even though the
transaction did not officially close until August 11,
2015.
An
independent evaluation of the assets of Gourmet Foods was
commissioned as was an audit of their last two fiscal years ended
March 31st. It was ascertained that Gourmet Foods had experienced a
net loss over the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, of $9,558.
Contributing to the loss were several factors that current
management does not expect to reoccur which included an effort to
export product to Korea and an ill-suited sales effort involving
the addition of field sales representatives and their associated
expenses including company provided vehicles. Since the acquisition
date of August 11, 2015, Gourmet Foods has initiated several
strategies designed to improve profitability through a more
efficient and automated production process and sales growth
initiatives that involve an outreach to areas currently underserved
by Gourmet Foods. To assist with the purchase of new machinery and
cover interim working capital needs, we extended an interest-free
intercompany loan of NZ$250,000 translated to US$158,948 as of the
date of transfer.
The accompanying
financial statements include the operations of Gourmet Foods for
the period August 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. Because we did
not acquire Gourmet Foods until the current fiscal year there is no
comparison data supplied in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations for Gourmet Foods for the periods ended
June 30, 2015, nor are the assets and liabilities of Gourmet Foods
included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June
30, 2015.
Gourmet
Foods operates exclusively in New Zealand and thus the New Zealand
dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate our
reporting currency, the US dollar, with that of Gourmet Foods we
record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction
gains and losses in accordance with SFAS 52, Foreign Currency
Translation. The translation of New Zealand currency into U.S.
dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange
rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and
expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the
period. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency
translations are included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
found on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income and are listed as a gain of $103,736 for the
year ended June 30, 2016.
Net
revenues for the eleven-month period August 1, 2015, through June
30, 2016 were $3,756,402. Cost of goods sold for the eleven-month
period ending June 30, 2016, was $2,500,075 resulting in a gross
profit of $1,256,327 or approximately 33% gross margin. General and
administrative expenses for the eleven-month period were $967,180
resulting in a net income before other income and expenses and
income tax of $289,147. The depreciation expense for Gourmet Foods
over the eleven-month period ending June 30, 2016, was $225,810.
The income tax provision of $80,892, the interest income of $3,842
and other income of $2,370 resulted in a net income of $214,467.
Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016 were $285,673.
Brigadier Security Systems
Brigadier Security
Systems (“Brigadier”) was founded in 1985 and through
internal growth and acquisitions the core business of Brigadier
began in 1998. Today Brigadier is one of the largest SecurTek
dealers in Saskatchewan with offices in both major urban areas of
Regina (under the fictitious business name of “Elite
Security”) and Saskatoon. Brigadier is also a Honeywell
Certified Access Control Distributor, Kantech Global Dealer and UTC
Interlogix Security Pro dealer and the largest independent security
contractor in the province. Brigadier provides comprehensive
security solutions including access control, camera monitoring,
motion detection, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners
as well as government offices, schools and public buildings.
Brigadier typically sells hardware to customers and a full time
monitoring of the premises. The contract for monitoring the premise
is then conveyed to a third party telecom in exchange for an
upfront payment and recurring residuals based on subscriber
contracts.
The accompanying
financial statements include the operations of Brigadier for the
period June 1, 2016, through June 30, 2016. Because we did not
acquire Brigadier until the current fiscal year there is no
comparison data supplied in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations for Brigadier for the periods ended June
30, 2015, nor are the assets and liabilities of Brigadier included
in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30,
2015.
Brigadier
operates exclusively in Canada and thus the Canadian dollar is its
functional currency. In order to consolidate our reporting
currency, the US dollar, with that of Brigadier we record foreign
currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses
in accordance with SFAS 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The
translation of Canadian currency into U.S. dollars is performed for
balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the
balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a
weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses
resulting from the foreign currency translations are included in
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) found on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and
are listed as a gain of $5,098 for the year ended June 30,
2016.
Brigadier
purchases various component parts and accessories anticipated to be
required in near-term installations of systems pursuant to sales
forecasts. These parts are listed in inventory until sold, which is
determined by a sales contract, delivery of the product, and a
reasonable expectation of payment under typical terms of sale are
in evidence. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost
(determined on a FIFO basis) or market. Inventories include product
cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs. We compare the cost of
inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for
writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower. As of
June 30, 2016, an allowance for obsolete inventory value in the
amount of $14,282 was recorded in general and administrative
expense.
The net sales for the one-month period ending June
30, 2016, were $348,553 with cost of goods sold recorded as
$124,931 resulting in a gross profit of $223,622 and gross margin
of 64%. General and administrative expenses for the one-month
period were $179,959 providing net operating income before income
tax provision and interest expense of $43,663, or 13%. The
depreciation expense for Brigadier for the one-month period was $560, income tax
provision at June 30, 2016, was $14,330, interest expense (net) was
$17 and allowance for obsolete inventory was $14,282 resulting in a
net profit of $29,316. Accounts receivable at June 30, 2016, were
$550,907.
Concierge
Technologies
The primary
expenses of Concierge are comprised of professional fees paid to
auditors, transaction costs incurred for fund raising and
acquisitions, accrued interest on borrowed funds and consulting
fees paid to our advisors. For the year ended June 30, 2016,
Concierge had no commercial operations apart from those of its
subsidiaries. Revenues from operations during the year ended June
30, 2016, were zero as compared to $160,094 for the year ended June
30, 2015. Overall, consolidated net revenues for the year ending
June 30, 2016, were $4,225,385 and $223,565 for the year ended June
30, 2015. Cost of revenues for the year ending June 30, 2016, and
2015 were $2,746,132 and $188,325 respectively, representing a
gross profit percentage of approximately 35% for the year ended
June 30, 2016, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2015 of 15%.
Operating costs include general and administrative expense of
$1,411,047 and inventory impairment of $48,330 resulting in an
operating income of $19,876 for the year ended June 30, 2016 as
compared to a loss of $131,690 for the year ended June 30,
2015
We realized a net
income before provision of income taxes, after other income $2,880
and interest expense of $8,686, and comprehensive income for the
year ended June 30, 2016, of $14,070 as compared to a net loss
before taxes of $204,216 for the year ended June 30, 2015. We
attribute the increased income to the inclusion of acquired
subsidiaries Brigadier and Gourmet Foods as well as disposal of
non-revenue producing subsidiaries present during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2015. The net loss after income tax provision of
$96,022 on a consolidated basis for the year ended June 30, 2016
was $81,952 as compared to an income of $14,191 for the year ended
June 30, 2015.
Comprehensive Loss,
after giving consideration to foreign currency translation losses
for the year ended June 30, 2016, was $111,455 as compared to
income of $14,191 for the year ending June 30, 2015, where no
foreign currency translation was required.
Plan
of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
Our
plan of operation for the next twelve months is to expand the
development of Kahnalytics through implementation of software
development and addition of new products, including a branding and
promotion of a recurring revenue product offering. Additionally, we
are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused
management initiatives and consolidation within the security
industry. Similarly, we expect Gourmet Foods to be operating more
efficiently under current management and continue to increase
market share through additional product offerings and channels to
market. Our mission is to continue with our acquisition strategy by
identifying and acquiring profitable, mature, companies of a
diverse nature and with in-place management to produce increasing
revenue streams. By these initiatives we hope to:
●
continue
to gain market share for our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ areas
of operation,
●
increase
our gross revenues and realize net operating profits,
●
lower
our operating costs by unburdening certain selling expenses to
third party distributors,
●
source
and retain staff experienced in the field of software development
and application of database report writing functions,
●
have
sufficient cash reserves to pay down accrued expenses,
●
complete
business combinations where we have a common control interest among
shareholders,
●
attract
parties who have an interest in selling their privately held
companies to us, and
●
achieve
efficiencies in accounting and reporting through consolidated
operations of our subsidiaries from a management
perspective.
Liquidity
During
the current fiscal year we have invested approximately $3.5 million
in cash towards purchasing and assimilating Gourmet Foods and
Brigadier into our group of companies. We have continued to pursue
business opportunities with Kahnalytics and intend to grow that
opportunity by implementation of a software development project in
the coming months that is envisioned to produce a significant
recurring revenue stream when finalized. We forecast Gourmet Foods
and Brigadier to continue to produce a profit during the coming
fiscal year and the realization of those profits by Concierge may
be augmented by a resurgence of the New Zealand and Canadian
currencies against the U.S. dollar during the coming fiscal year.
While we intend to maintain and improve our revenue stream from
wholly owned subsidiaries Kahnalytics, Brigadier and Gourmet Foods,
we are also looking to expand our business to include other
synergistic partners and pursue possible licensing agreements for
product distribution on a global scale. Provided our subsidiaries
continue to operate as they are presently, and are projected to
operate, we have sufficient capital to pay our general and
administrative expenses for the coming fiscal year and to
adequately pursue our long term business objectives.
We
believe that, through execution of our current business plan, we
will be able to continue to pay our financial obligations and to
avoid increases in its accrued liabilities in the coming fiscal
year.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of October 3,
2016, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other
contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under
which we have:
●
an
obligation under a guarantee contract,
●
a
retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the
unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit,
liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such
assets,
●
an
obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a
variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and
material to, us where such entity provides financing, liquidity,
market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing,
hedging, or research and development services with,
us.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of
Directors
Concierge
Technologies, Inc.
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Concierge Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company")
as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2016.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Limited,
a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of
20% of consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2016 and total
revenues of 8% of consolidated total revenues for the one year
period ended June 30, 2016. Those statements were audited by
another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for
Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Limited, is based solely on the
report of the other auditor.
We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the
other auditor provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In
our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other
auditor, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Concierge Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30,
2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2016 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company has incurred accumulated losses of $6,430,722. These
factors along with those discussed in Note 4 to the financial
statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 4. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty

NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Concierge
Technologies, Inc., (the “Company”), a Nevada
corporation, was originally incorporated in California on August
18, 1993 as Fanfest, Inc. On March 20, 2002, the Company changed
its name to Concierge Technologies, Inc. The Company’s
principal operations include the purchase and sale of digital
equipment through its wholly owned subsidiaries Wireless Village doing
business as Janus Cam (until its disposal as of May 7, 2015),
Gourmet Foods, a manufacturer and distributor of meat pies in New
Zealand, Brigadier Security Systems, a provider of security alarm
installation and monitoring located in Canada, and
Kahnalytics, Inc. a California corporation providing vehicle-based
live streaming video and event recording to online
subscribers.
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Concierge
Technologies, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kahnalytics,
Gourmet Foods, Ltd., Brigadier Security Systems and Wireless
Village (discontinued on May 7, 2015). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of
consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America which
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the
consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less which are not securing any corporate
obligations.
Concentrations
of Risk
The Company
maintains cash balances at a financial institution headquartered in
San Diego, California. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per depositor. The
Company’s uninsured cash balance in the United States was
$33,026 at June 30, 2016. Cash balances in Canada are maintained at
a financial institution in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Each account is
insured up to CD$100,000 by Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation
(CDIC). The Company’s uninsured cash balance in Canada was
CD$123,311 (approximately US$95,190) at June 30, 2016.
Balances at
financial institutions within certain foreign countries, including
New Zealand where the Company maintains cash balances, are not
covered by insurance. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had
uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in uninsured accounts
maintained within foreign entities of approximately $568,427. The
Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts.

Major
customers & suppliers
Concierge, through
Kahnalytics as a licensed user of a proprietary software
application, is dependent on the continued support of this online
platform and the adherence to the license contract terms between
Kahnalytics and the foreign-based licensor. Kahnalytics is also
largely dependent on its single-source sales channel to continue to
expand its dealer network of resellers who, in turn, activate
subscribers to the Kahnalytics service. Hardware sold by
Kahnalytics is currently supplied by one source, however in the
event this source proves to be inadequate there are other
alternative sources of equal or comparable devices as needed by
Kahnalytics. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 Kahnalytics
had just one customer accounting for 100% of its sales.
Correspondingly, Kahnalytics had only two suppliers of the hardware
it sold with the larger of the suppliers accounting for 92% of the
cost of goods sold for fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Sales of
these products were discontinued during the current fiscal
year.
Concierge, through
Brigadier Security Systems, is dependent upon its contractual
relationship with the alarm monitoring company who purchases the
monitoring contracts and provides monitoring services to
Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is
terminated Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source
of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself.
Management believes that the contractual relationship is
sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions
available should the need arise. Sales to the two largest customers
totaled 55% of the total revenues for the one-month period ended
June 30, 2016, and accounted for approximately 38.6% of accounts
receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30,
2016.
Concierge, through
Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross
revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience
stores, 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is
dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of
Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these
major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet
Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient
time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing
business. For the 11-month period ending and balance sheet date of
June 30, 2016, our largest customer in the grocery industry, who
operates through a number independently branded stores, accounted
for approximately 14% of our gross sales revenues and 34% of our
accounts receivable. The second largest in the grocery industry
accounted for approximately 10% of our gross revenues and 12% of
our accounts receivable. In the gasoline convenience store market
we supply two major accounts. The largest is a marketing consortium
of gasoline dealers accounting for approximately 44% of our gross
sales revenues and 24% of our accounts receivable. The second
largest are independent operators accounting for approximately 13%
of gross sales and 17% of accounts receivable. The third category
of independent retailers accounted for the balance of our gross
sales revenue however the group is fragmented and no one customer
accounts for a significant portion of our revenues. Gourmet Foods
is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative
sources are available in the local market place should the need
arise.

TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Allowance
for Doubtful Debts
The Company
maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the
required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of
accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness,
customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in
customer payment patterns. Reserves are recorded primarily on a
specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off
against the allowance after all means of collection have been
exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As
of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had recorded allowance for
doubtful accounts of $3,600 and $Nil, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories are
valued at the lower of cost (determined on a FIFO basis) or market.
Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing
costs. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market
value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to
their market value, if lower. During the year ended June 30, 2016,
the Company incurred an impairment loss of $48,330 due to valuing
inventory at market which was lower than cost.
Property
and Equipment
Property and
equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals
and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are
retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain
or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using
various methods over an estimated useful life of the
asset.

Intangible
Assets
Intangible assets
consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete
agreements and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives
are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for
impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not
be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by determining
whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through
the discounted expected future cash flows. If the future discounted
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the
Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the
carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
CONCIERGE
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents
the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of
the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill
impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, thefair
value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value
including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds
its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the
fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value,
an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit
and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test.
Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of
the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the
implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of
goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the
reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation.
The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair
value of the reporting unit goodwill.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The Company tests
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the
assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss
will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value
exceeds the fair value.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's
financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts
payable.
The three levels
are defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs
other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
or liabilities.
As of the balance
sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments
were not materially different from their carrying values as
presented on the balance sheet. This is primarily attributed to the
short maturities of these instruments.
CONCIERGE
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUeBSIDIARY

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue primarily
consists of sale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery
confections in New Zealand, security
alarm system installation and monitoring in Canada and sale
of mobile video recording devices and gathering of live-streaming
video recording data displayed online to subscribers in the U.S.A.
Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, trade
discounts. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the
delivery has occurred, no other significant obligations of the
Company exist, and collectability is probable. Product is
considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and
title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been
transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales,
these criteria are met at the time the product is
shipped.
Share-based
Compensation
The Company
measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense over the
applicable vesting period of the stock award using the
straight-line method.
Income
Taxes
Income taxes are
accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry
forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax
assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for
deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items
will either expire before the Company is able to realize their
benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.
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.
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 is reflected as a liability for
unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any
associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the
taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and
penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified
as additional income taxes in the statements of
operations.
Advertising
Costs
The Company
expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for
the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were
negligible.
Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Foreign Currency
Translation
We record foreign
currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses
in accordance with SFAS 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The
accounts of Gourmet Foods, Ltd. use the New Zealand dollar as the
functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use
the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and
liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance
sheet date, and operating results are translated at the average
exchange rate throughout the period. Accumulated translation loss
classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive loss in
the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance
sheet was $29,503 as of June 30, 2016.
Statement
of Cash Flows
The Company’s
cash flows from operations are calculated based upon the local
currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities
reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree
with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated
balance sheet.
Segment
Reporting
The Company defines
operating segments as components about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and
in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and
assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the
geographic locations of its subsidiaries (see Note
20).
Business
Combinations
We allocate the
fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets
acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based
on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of
purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable
assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations
require management to make significant estimates and assumptions,
especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates
in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited
to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade
names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and
discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are
based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are
inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual
results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period,
which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record
adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with
the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the
measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to
earnings.

balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2016

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in
accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and
will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The
standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize
revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In
August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new
revenue standard by one year, which will make it effective for the
Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30,
2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the
impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial
statements.
In June 2014, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation
— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based
Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance
Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a
consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2014-12).
The guidance applies to all reporting entities that grant their
employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award
provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be
achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require
that a performance target that affects vesting and thatcould be
achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a
performance condition. For all entities, the amendments in this
update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within
those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier
adoption is permitted. The effective date is the same for both
public business entities and all other entities. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-12 on the
Company’s results of operations or financial
condition.
In August 2014, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation
of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40),
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to
Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). The guidance in ASU
2014-15 sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate
whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern as well as required disclosures. ASU
2014-15 indicates that, when preparing financial statements for
interim and annual financial statements, management should evaluate
whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial
doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going
concern for one year from the date the financial statements are
issued or are available to be issued. This evaluation should
include consideration of conditions and events that are either
known or are reasonably knowable at the date the financial
statements are issued or are available to be issued, as well as
whether it is probable that management’s plans to address the
substantial doubt will be implemented and, if so, whether it is
probable that the plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. ASU
2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15,
2016, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. Early
application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01, Income
Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual items (Subtopic
225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating
the Concept of Extraordinary Items (ASU 2015-01). The amendment
eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. This
guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of
fiscal 2017. Early adoption is permitted and allows the Company to
apply the amendment prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption
of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
CONCIERGE

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In February 2015,
FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, (Topic 810): Amendments to the
Consolidation Analysis. ASU No. 2015-02 provides amendments to
respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current
accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities.
Stakeholders expressed concerns that GAAP might require a reporting
entity to consolidate another legal entity in situations in which
the reporting entity’s contractual rights do not give it the
ability to act primarily on its own behalf, the reporting entity
does not hold a majority of the legal entity’s voting rights,
or the reporting entity is not exposed to a majority of the legal
entity’s economic benefits or obligations. ASU No. 2015-02 is
effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those
annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of
this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations, financial position or
disclosures.
In April 2015, FASB
issued ASU No. 2015-03, (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the
Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU No. 2015-03 provides
guidance that will require debt issuance costs related to a
recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a
direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.
ASU No. 2015-03 affects disclosures related to debt issuance costs
but does not affect existing recognition and measurement guidance
for these items. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual periods,
and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after
December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company’s results of
operations, financial position or disclosures.
In April 2015, FASB
issued ASU No. 2015-05, (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s
Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing
Arrangements. ASU No. 2015-05 provides guidance on a
customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing
arrangement, which includes software as a service, platform as a
service, infrastructure as a service, and other similar hosting
arrangements. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, and
interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after
December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company’s results of
operations, financial position or disclosures.
In September 2015,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805)
Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period
Adjustments.” ASU No. 2015-06 simplifies the accounting
for measurement-period adjustments attributable to an acquisition.
Under prior guidance, adjustments to provisional amounts during the
measurement period that arise due to new information regarding
acquisition date circumstances must be made retrospectively with a
corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The amended guidance requires
an acquirer to record adjustments to provisional amounts made
during the measurement period in the period that the adjustment is
determined. The adjustments should reflect the impact on earnings
of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects,
if any, as if the accounting hadbeen completed as of the
acquisition date. Additionally, amounts recorded in the current
period that would have been reflected in prior reporting periods if
the adjustments had been recognized as of the acquisition date must
be disclosed either on the face of the income statement or in the
notes to financial statements. This guidance is effective
prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2015 and early application is permitted. The impact of
the guidance on our financial condition, results of operations and
financial statement disclosures will depend on the level of
acquisition activity performed by the Company.

In November 2015,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-17,
“Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (ASU
2015-17), which changes how deferred taxes are classified on the
balance sheet and is effective for financial statements issued for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early
adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets
and liabilities to be classified as non-current. The adoption of
this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations, financial position or
disclosures.
In January 2016,
the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01),
which requires equity investments that are not accounted for under
the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with
changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation
and disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective beginning
after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results
of operations, financial position or disclosures.
In February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” which
requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease
liabilities, for all leases, with the exception of short-term
leases, at the commencement date of each lease. This ASU requires
lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either
finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or
not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee.
This classification will determine whether lease expense is
recognized based on an effective interest method or on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This ASU is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and
interim periods within those annual periods.Early adoption is
permitted. The amendments of this update should be applied using a
modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors
to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest
period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial
statements.
In March 2016, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-07, Investments-
Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the
Equity Method of Accounting (“ASU 2016-07”). ASU
2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of
accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains
significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU
2016-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are
currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would
have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
In March 2016, the
FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee
Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The guidance simplifies
accounting for share-based payments, most notably by requiring all
excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded as income
tax benefits or expense in the income statement and by allowing
entities to recognize forfeitures of awards when they occur. This
new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2016 and may be adopted prospectively or
retroactively. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption
of this standard would have on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.

NOTE
3. BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARES
Basic net loss per
share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption
that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were
converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the
treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are
assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the
time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were
used to purchase common stock at the average market price during
the period.
Diluted net loss
per share for the year ended June 30, 2016 did not reflect the
effects of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of
convertible notes & preferred stock. These potentially issuable
shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the Company’s
net loss per share in 2016. Diluted net income per share for the
year ended June 30, 2015 reflected the effects of shares actually
potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred
stock.

4. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an
accumulated deficit of $6,431,522 as of June 30 2016, including a
net loss of $81,952 during the year ended June 30, 2016. The
historical losses have adversely affected the liquidity of the
Company. Although losses are expected to be curtailed during the
coming fiscal year due to the increasing revenues of its wholly
owned subsidiary Kahnalytics, along with the acquisition of revenue
producing subsidiaries, the Company faces continuing significant
business risks, which include, but are not limited to, its ability
to maintain vendor and supplier relationships by making timely
payments when due, continue product research and development
efforts at Kahnalytics, and successfully compete for customers
within the areas of interest for its Canadian and New Zealand held
subsidiaries.
In view of the
matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a
major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the
accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations
of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s
ability to increase profitability from its subsidiary operations,
obtain financing, and succeed in its future operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Management has
taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial
requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the
Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management
devoted considerable effort from inception through the period ended
June 30, 2016, towards (i) sourcing additional working capital
including $1,600,000 debt issuance completed during the year ended
June 30, 2016, (ii) management of accrued expenses and accounts
payable, (iii) divestiture of non-revenue producing subsidiaries,
(vi) acquisition of profit producing subsidiaries such as Gourmet
Foods and Brigadier Security Systems, and (v) other business
combinations between entities where we have a common controlling
interest such as Wainwright Holdings.
Management believes
that the above actions will allow the Company to continue
operations for the next 12 months.

On
January 1, 2013 we consolidated all outstanding notes payable due a
related party into one loan agreement containing certain conversion
features whereby the note holder could convert the principal amount
of the loan, $204,700 comprised of the sum total of the principal
amounts of the individual notes, $122,000, plus $82,700 in accrued
interest applicable to those notes, together with accrued interest
on the principal at the rate of 4.944% per annum, into shares of
our common stock at the conversion rate of $0.02 per share. On
December 19, 2014 we entered into an amendment to the debenture
that allowed for the maturity date to be extended to June 1, 2015
and provided the Company rights to settle the debenture in full,
upon completion of an equity investment in excess of $1,500,000, by
payment of $122,000 in cash and issuance of 8,270,000 shares of
common stock valued at $0.01 per share to the debenture holder. On
January 26, 2015 we exercised those rights and paid the debenture
in full. The transaction resulted in a gain on the issuance of
shares of $69,861. which was recorded in additional paid in capital
account as the transaction was with a related party.
On February 13,
2015 the Company repaid the outstanding notes due to two related
parties totaling $21,000 in principal and $4,000 in accrued
interest. A total of $5,086 in accrued interest was forgiven by the
noteholders in settlement of the debt.
Interest expense
for all related party notes payable for the year ended June 30,
2016 amounted to $782 and was $781 for the year ended June 30, 2015
for Concierge Technologies.
NOTE
11. NOTE PAYABLE
On November 8, 2013
Wireless Village entered into a short term Note Agreement with an
unaffiliated individual in the amount of $50,000, the proceeds of
which were used to pay down inventory purchase costs. Interest on
the Note accrued at the rate of 10% per annum and was payable in
monthly installments with a maturity date of February 19, 2014
payable by Wireless Village. On February 19, 2014 the unaffiliated
individual agreed to extend the maturity date to June 1, 2014 and
the Company agreed to pay a loan commitment fee of 1.5%, or $750.
By agreement, that fee was paid by the issuance of 53,571 shares of
common stock with a market value on the date of issuance of $0.014
per share. The note was subsequently extended to mature on January
5,2015, and then again to mature on February 27, 2015 provided
Concierge Technologies guaranteed the repayment on behalf of
Wireless Village. A fee in the amount of 1%, or $500, was paid in
cash to the noteholder by Wireless Village in exchange for the
agreement to extend the maturity date. On February 13, 2015 the
note was repaid in full by Concierge Technologies.
On December 24,
2014 the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note
agreement with an unaffiliated individual for the principal amount
of $35,000 plus interest to accrue at the rate of 6% per annum on
the unpaid principal. The note and accrued interest was due and
payable on or before June 30, 2015. The proceeds of the loan were
reserved in anticipation of the need to pay a convertible debenture
maturing in January 2015. On January 26, 2015 the noteholder became
an investor and shareholder of the Company and the amount of
$35,000 due under the note agreement was repaid as a credit to the
amount of funds due per the stock subscription agreement. No
interest was accrued or paid on the note.
An unsecured loan
in the amount of $8,500 due a former director and shareholder who
is now deceased has been reclassified as a note due unrelated
party. The note is interest free, not deemed assignable to
successors by the Company, and held as a contingent liability until
resolved.
NOTE
12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES – RELATED PARTY
On January 27, 2016
the Company entered into a convertible promissory note (the
“Promissory Note”) with Wainwright Holdings, an
affiliate of our shareholder and C.E.O., that resulted in the
funding of $450,000. The Promissory Note bears interest at four
percent (4%) per annum and increases to eight percent (8%) in the
event of default by the Company. The Company and the noteholder
negotiated the interest rate at arm’s length relying upon the
available market rate for long-term deposits at financial
institutions as well as the current rate of return realized by the
noteholder for cash deposits currently held. Larger deposits
traditionally fall into a “Jumbo” rate category with
marginally higher returns. Interest ranged from annual percentage
rates of .01% at the lowest to 1.75% at the highest. Recognizing
the unsecured nature of the promissory note, and the historical
record of continued operating losses by the Company, a rate of 4
percent annual interest was agreed upon in light of the heightened
default risk over traditional investment instruments. The
Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part by
the Company and is convertible into restricted common stock of the
Company at the election of Promissory Note holder on the date which
is 180 days following issuance of the Promissory Note at a
conversion price of $0.10 per share. The conversion price is
subject to adjustment for mergers, consolidations, share exchanges,
recapitalizations or similar events. The Promissory Note matures
five (5) years from issuance and is unsecured. Proceeds from the
Promissory Note are intended to be used for transactions involving
acquisitions of unrelated companies by Concierge Technologies that
meet the criteria as determined by the Board of Directors. There
was no beneficial conversion feature identified as of the date of
issuance of the Promissory Note.
On April 8, 2016
the Company entered into a convertible promissory note (the

NOTE13.
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On February 18, 2014 the Company entered into a series of
agreements, including a convertible debenture, that resulted in a
funding of $53,000. The debenture is convertible, at the option of
the debenture holder, to restricted common shares after August 18,
2014 at a conversion price calculated on a prescribed discount to
the trailing 10-day volume weighted average market price
(“VWAP”) of our shares on the date of conversion.
During the initial 6 months from the date of the note the Company
may repay the principal plus accrued interest at the rate of 8% per
annum by applying a pre-payment penalty determined on a sliding
scale tied to the aging of the note. After the initial 6-month
period has elapsed the Company may not repay the note until its
maturity date on November 18, 2014 at which time the note principal
andinterest will become due and payable without pre-payment
penalty. The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the
convertible debenture. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014,
at the election of the debenture holder, the Company
converted$28,000 of the principal to equity through issuance of
4,346,247 shares of common stock. During the quarter ended December
31, 2014, at the election of the debenture holder, the Company
converted $25,000 of the principal plus $2,120 of accrued interest
to equity through issuance of 5,424,000 shares of common stock. The
debenture has been paid in full as of June 30, 2015.
On
March 28, 2014 the Company entered into a series of agreements,
including a convertible debenture, that resulted in a funding of
$32,500. The note is convertible, at the option of the debenture
holder, to restricted common shares after September 23, 2014 at a
conversion price calculated on a prescribed discount to the
trailing 10-day VWAP of our shares on the date of conversion.
During the initial 6 months from the date of the note the Company
may repay the principal plus accrued interest at the rate of 8% per
annum by applying a pre-payment penalty determined on a sliding
scale tied to the aging of the note. After the initial 6-month
period has elapsed the Company may not repay the note until its
maturity date on January 2, 2015 at which time the note principal
and interest will become due and payable without pre-payment
penalty. The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the
convertible debenture. As of June 30, 2015 the debenture was repaid
in full with cash of $32,500 plus accrued interest of
$1,995.
On
April 25, 2014 the Company entered into a series of agreements,
including a convertible debenture, that resulted in a funding of
$32,500. The note is convertible, at the option of the debenture
holder, to unregistered common shares after October 22, 2014 at a
conversion price calculated on a prescribed discount to the
trailing 10-day VWAP of our shares on the date of conversion.
During the initial 6 months from the date of the note the Company
may repay the principal plus accrued interest at the rate of 8% per
annum by applying a pre-payment penalty determined on a sliding
scale tied to the aging of the note. After the initial 6-month
period has elapsed the Company may not repay the note until its
maturity date on January 25, 2015 at which time the note principal

penalty. The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the
convertible debenture. As of June 30, 2015 the debenture was repaid
in full with cash of $32,500 plus accrued interest of
$1,995.
The
Company identified embedded derivatives related to all the three
convertible debenture mentioned above. The embedded
derivatives included certain conversion features. The
accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required
that the Company record the derivatives at their fair values as of
the inception date and at fair value as of each subsequent balance
sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as
non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting
date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at
the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a
non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the
derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the
Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income. The
derivatives were classified as short-term liabilities. The
debentures were repaid in full with cash as of June 30, 2015 and
the derivative liability was eliminated on the consolidated balance
sheet at June 30, 2015.

Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities
Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences associated
with differences between the financial statements and tax basis of
assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates which
are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or
non-current, depending on the classification of the assets or
liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as
current or non-current depending on the periods in which the
temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Through June 30, 2015, the Company incurred net operating losses
for tax purposes of approximately $5,033,209 which was increased to
$5,309,789 due to operating losses of $276,580 for the year ended
June 30, 2016. The net operating loss carryforward for federal and
state purposes may be used to reduce taxable income through the
year 2035.
The gross deferred tax asset balance as of June 30, 2016 is
approximately $2,113,296. A 100% valuation allowance has been
established against the deferred tax assets, as the utilization of
the loss carry forward cannot be reasonably assured.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENT
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10 on January 1,
2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that
would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. When determining the fair value
measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be
recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most
advantageous market in which it would transact and considers
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the
asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions,
and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 establishes a
fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three
levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
Level
1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
Level
2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in
markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less
active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all
significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally
from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially
the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are
significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or
liabilities.
To
the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are
less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of
fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the
inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of
the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the
fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
Upon
adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment
to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
The
carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, and
other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value,
because of their short-term maturity.
Items
recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the

The Company's derivative liability was valued using pricing models,
and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar
instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the
values produced by its pricing models to market
prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs,
including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit
spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such
inputs. These financial liabilities do not trade in
liquid markets, and, as such, model inputs cannot generally be
verified and do involve significant management
judgment. Such instruments are typically classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The change
in fair value of the derivative liability is included as a
component of other income in the consolidated statements of
operations. The derivative liability was calculated using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
expected lives range of less than a month; 110.48% stock price
volatility; risk-free interest rate of 0.110% and no dividends
during the expected term.

BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS
On May 28, 2015
Concierge Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered
into an agreement to acquire the assets of Gourmet Foods, Ltd., a
New Zealand corporation, subject to satisfactory completion of due
diligence and other customary criteria for a transaction of this
kind. Gourmet Foods is a baker of New Zealand meat pies and other
confections distributed to major grocery stores, convenience
stores, restaurants and other retailers throughout New Zealand. The
Company placed a cash deposit with Gourmet Foods in accordance with
the provisions of the asset purchase agreement, however the parties
later elected to change the nature of the transaction to a stock
purchase agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“SPA”) was entered into on July 28, 2015 and was set to
close on July 31, 2015 subject to final adjustments to accounts
receivable, accounts payable, inventory, employee entitlements and
other current assets and liabilities. The Company paid a purchase
consideration of NZ$2,597,535 (approximately US$1,753,428) in cash.
An independent evaluation was conducted in order to obtain a fair
market value of the fixed assets and intangible assets acquired.
The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the
fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is
recorded as goodwill.
On August 11, 2015
the parties reached agreement to close the SPA based on the balance
sheet information as of July 31, 2015, subject to further
adjustments if necessary once certain balances became known without
dispute, and the Company remitted the remainder of the purchase
price in cash to an account in New Zealand established for the
benefit of the shareholders of Gourmet Foods, Ltd. The operations
of Gourmet Foods, Ltd. was consolidated going forward with those of
the Company as of August 1, 2015.

On June 2, 2016 the
Company closed a Stock Purchase Agreement transaction which
resulted in the acquisition of all the outstanding and issued stock
of Brigadier Security Systems, a Canadian corporation located in
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The total purchase price was CD$2,010,266
(approximately US$1,540,830) in cash, payable in several stages. As
of June 30, 2016, consideration of CD$1,000,000 (US$756,859) was
paid in cash and CD$733,000 (US$569,935) was deposited in an
attorney client trust account in Canadian currency (to be paid to
Brigadier, on the 183rd day following the Closing Date if net sales
meeting the minimum threshold of $1,500,000 CDN (the "Sales Goal")
is achieved; if the Sales Goal is not reached by the l83rd day
following the Closing Date, then the payment is to be remitted on
the 365th day following the Closing Date). The audit of Brigadier
resulted in an upwards adjustment of the purchase price by
CD$277,266 (US$214,035) which has been recorded as of June 30, 2016
as Purchase Consideration Payable and was subsequently paid in
October 2016. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total
purchase consideration is allocated to Brigadier Security Systems

Litigation
On May 6, 2002, a
default judgment was awarded to Brookside Investments Ltd. against,
jointly and severally, Concierge, Inc., Allen E. Kahn, and The
Whitehall Companies in the amount of $135,000 plus legal fees. As
of May 7, 2012, the judgment had lapsed due to the passage of time
and the creditor’s failure to renew. Although a new court
action would be required by the plaintiff in order to seek legal
remedies, the Company has accrued the amount of $135,000 in the
accompanying financial statements as accrued expenses as of June
30, 2016.
NOTE
20. SEGMENT REPORTING
With the acquisition of Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and
Brigadier Security Systems, the Company has identified three
segments for its products and services;U.S.A., New Zealand and
Canada. Our reportable segments are business units located in
different global regions. The Company’s operations in
the U.S.A. include the gathering of live-streaming video recording
data displayed online to subscribers through its wholly owned
subsidiary Kahnalytics, Inc., in New Zealand include the
production, packaging and distribution on a commercial scale of
gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections through its wholly
owned subsidiary Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and in Canada security alarm system installation
and monitoring sold through its wholly owned subsidiary Brigadier
Security Systems to residential and commercial customers. Separate
management of each segment is required because each business unit
is subject to different operational issues and strategies due to
their particular regional location. The Company accounts for
intra-company sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were
to third parties and eliminates them in the consolidation. Amounts
are adjusted for currency translation as of the balance sheet date
and presented in US dollars.

NOTE
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 19,
2016, the Company entered into a conditional Stock Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated September 19, 2016,
with Wainwright Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Wainwright”) and certain shareholders of Wainwright
(the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Sellers
conditionally agreed to sell, and the Company conditionally agreed
to purchase, shares representing approximately 97% of the total
issued and outstanding common stock of Wainwright (the
“Wainwright Shares”). The Company intends to make an
offer to acquire the remaining Wainwright shares of common stock
prior to the Closing.
As a result of the
transaction, current shareholders of Wainwright will become
shareholders of the Company. Mr. Gerber, along with certain family
members and certain other Wainwright shareholders, currently own
the majority of the common stock in the Company as well as
Wainwright. Following the closing of this transaction, he and those
shareholders will continue to own the majority of the Company
voting shares.
Wainwright owns all
of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership
interests of United States Commodity Funds LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“USCF”) and USCF Advisers, LLC
(“USCF Advisers”). USCF is a commodity pool operator
registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. USCF
Advisers is an SEC registered investment adviser. USCF and USCF
Advisers act as the advisers to the Funds set forth in the
Agreement (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the
“Funds”).
The Closing shall
occur on the later of (i) the date that is two Business Days
following the date on which the last of the conditions to Closing
set forth in Articles VIII and IX of the Agreement have been
satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, waived by the relevant party, (ii) the 21st calendar
following the date on which the Definitive Schedule 14C was mailed
to the Concierge Shareholders, and (iii) such other time and date
as the parties may agree.
The conditions to
the Closing of the Contemplated Transaction are more particularly
described in Articles VIII and IX of Exhibit 10.1 which is attached
to the Form 8K submitted on September 19, 2016 and incorporated
herein by this reference. The conditions to the Closing include,
but are not limited to, the Company’s receipt of a Fairness
Opinion to the effect that, as of the date of the Agreement, and
based upon and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth
in such opinion, the Purchase Price to be paid by the Company
pursuant to the Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view,
to the holders of shares of the Company.
There is no
guarantee that the Closing of the Contemplated Transaction will
occur either as provided for in the Agreement or at all. There is
no guarantee that either the Company or Wainwright will fulfill all
conditions to Closing and that if not fulfilled, that either party
will waive the outstanding condition to Closing.
On October 11, 2016
the Company made the adjusted payment of CD$277,266, recorded as
Purchase Consideration Payable of US$241,035 in the accompanying
financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2016.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Our principal
independent accountant or any significant subsidiary has not
resigned, declined to stand for re-election, or been dismissed by
us during the periods for which financial statements are included
herein.
ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as required by
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, as of the end of the period covered by
this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide
reasonable assurances that the information the Company is required
to disclose in the reports it files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time period required by the Commission's rules
and forms. Further, the Company’s officers concluded that its
disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to its management, including its chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. There were no significant changes in
the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over
financial reporting.
Internal
control over financial reporting.
Management’s report on internal
control over financial reporting. Our management recognizes
its responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Currently, the primary responsibility of the registrant is
providing oversight control over its subsidiary operations which,
in turn, are managed by their respective boards of directors who
are appointed by the registrant for each of the subsidiaries. All
debit and credit transactions with the company’s bank
accounts, including those of the subsidiary companies, are reviewed
by the officers as well as all communications with the
company’s creditors. The directors of the subsidiary
companies, which include representatives of the Company, meet
frequently – as often as weekly – to discuss and review
the financial status of the company and all developments. All
filings of reports with the Commission are reviewed before filing
by all directors.
Our internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under
the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by
our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company; (ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the
Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of
management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Management assessed
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting at the end of its most recent fiscal year, June
30, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated
Framework. Based on its evaluation, management
has concluded that the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016.
Pursuant to
Regulation S-K Item 308(b), this Annual Report on Form 10-K does
not include an attestation report of our Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting.
Changes in Internal Control and Financial Reporting
There have been no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, which were identified in
connection with our management’s evaluation required by
paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Act, that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

51 years old.
Conflicts of Interest
Our
officers and directors who are not employees of our subsidiary
company will not devote more than a portion of their time to our
affairs. There will be occasions when the time requirements of
Concierge's business conflict with the demands of their other
business and investment activities. Such conflicts may require that
we attempt to employ additional personnel. There is no assurance
that the services of such persons will be available or that they
can be obtained upon terms favorable to the company.
Our officers and
directors may be directors or principal shareholders of other
companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest with
respect to potential acquisitions. In addition, our officers and
directors may in the future participate in business ventures, which
could be deemed to compete directly with Concierge. Additional
conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also
arise in the future in the event our officers or directors are
involved in the management of any firm with which we transact
business. In addition, if Concierge and other companies with which
our officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take
advantage of a potential business opportunity, then our board of
directors has agreed that said opportunity should be available to
each such company in the order in which such companies registered
or became current in the filing of annual reports under the '34
Act.
Our officers and
directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the
purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or
in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction.
It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost
of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any
sale of shares by our officers and directors which is made as a
condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or
acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be
paid to our officers and directors to acquire their shares creates
a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their
fiduciary duties to us and our other shareholders. Even though such
a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be
legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests
of Concierge and Concierge’s other shareholders, rather than
their own personal pecuniary benefit.
No executive
officer, director, person nominated to become a director, promoter
or control person of Concierge has been involved in legal
proceedings during the last five years such as
●
criminal
proceedings (excluding traffic violations and other minor
offenses), or
●
proceedings
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or
otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business,
securities or banking activities.
●
Nor has
any such person been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in
a civil action, or the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or
commodities law.
None of the
directors holds any directorships in any company with a class of
securities registered under the Exchange Act or subject to the
reporting requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company
registered as an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 other than the following: Nicholas Gerber, our CEO and
member of our Board of Directors, is a director of United Sates
Commodity Funds LLC which is the commodity pool operator and
general partner or sponsor of 11 commodity based exchange traded
products that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act,
and is also a director of USCF ETF Trust, a registered investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which currently
has one exchange traded fund and is advised by USCF Advisers LLC, a
registered investment adviser.
Involvement in certain legal
proceedings. During the past five years, none of the
directors has been involved in any of the following
events:
●
A
petition under the Federal bankruptcy law or any state insolvency
law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar
officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of
such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner
at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any
corporation or business association of which he was an executive
officer at or within two years before the time of such
filing;
●
Such
person was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject
of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and
other minor offenses);
●
Such
person was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree, not
subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of
competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him
from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:
●
Other
than Nicholas Gerber, through his involvement as a director of
United Sates Commodity Funds LLC which is the commodity pool
operator and general partner or sponsor of 11 commodity based
exchange traded products that are registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act, and as a director of USCF ETF Trust, a registered
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which
currently has one exchange traded fund and is advised by USCF
Advisers LLC, a registered investment adviser, acting as a futures
commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor,
commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction
merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the
foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or
dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or
employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan
association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any
conduct or practice in connection with such activity;
●
Engaging in any
type of business practice; or
●
Engaging in any
activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or
commodity or in connection with any violation of Federal or State
securities laws or Federal commodities laws;
●
Such
person was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not
subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or
State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more
than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity
described in paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this section, or to be
associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
or
●
Such
person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil
action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State
securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by
the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or
vacated.
●
Such
person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil
action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have
violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such
civil action or finding by the Commodity Future Trading Commission
has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or
vacated.
Code of
Ethics. We have
adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer
or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of
the Code of Ethics is filed as an exhibit to Form 10-KSB Annual
Report for the year ended June 30, 2004 (Exhibit 14 incorporated
herein by reference). We undertake to provide to any person without
charge, upon request, a copy of such code of ethics. Such a request
may be made by writing to the company at its address at 29115
Valley Center Rd., K-206, Valley Center, CA 92082.
Corporate Governance.
Security holder recommendations of
candidates for the board of directors. Any shareholder may
recommend candidates for the board of directors by writing to the
president of our company the name or names of candidates, their
home and business addresses and telephone numbers, their ages, and
their business experience during at least the last five years. The
recommendation must be received by the company by March 9 of any
year or, alternatively, at least 60 days before any announced
shareholder annual meeting.
Audit committee. We have no
standing audit committee. Our directors perform the functions of an
audit committee. Our limited operations make unnecessary a standing
audit committee. None of our directors is an audit committee
financial expert, but the directors have access to consultants that
can provide such expertise when such is needed.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act.
Based solely upon a
review of Forms 3 and 4 furnished to the company under Rule
16a-3(e) of the Act during its most recent fiscal year and Forms 5
furnished to us with respect to our most recent fiscal year and any
written representations received by us from persons required to
file such forms, the following persons – either officers,
directors or beneficial owners of more than ten percent of any
class of equity of Concierge registered pursuant to Section 12 of
the Act – failed to file on a timely basis reports required

common stock.

67,953,870 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding.
There
are no agreements between or among any of the shareholders that
would restrict the issuance of shares in a manner that would cause
any change in control of Concierge. There are no voting trusts,
pooling arrangements or similar agreements in the place between or
among any of the shareholders, nor do the shareholders anticipate
the implementation of such an agreement in the near
future.
ITEM
13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Director Independence
For
purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the
definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCQB on which
our shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director
independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of
“Independent Director” means a person other than an
Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other
individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the
Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a
director.
According
to the NASDAQ definition, David Neibert and Nicholas Gerber are not
independent directors because each is also an executive officer of
the Company. Additional, Mr. Schoenberger is also not an
independent director due to the formation of a “group”
under Section 13(d)(3) with Mr. Gerber. According to the NASDAQ
Matt Gonzalez is the only independent director.
We
do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee,
but our entire board of director’s acts in such
capacities. We believe that our members of our board of
directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial
statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not
believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we
believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately
performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that
retaining an independent director who would qualify as an
“audit committee financial expert” would be overly
costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances
given the early stages of our development.
Related Party Transactions
During the previous
two fiscal years preceding our last fiscal year to present, there
have been no transactions with related persons, promoters or
certain control persons as covered by Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
However, in connection with that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement with Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, certain now
current executive officers and directors may have formed a
“group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Act which may
result in related party transactions in the future. These
affiliations are disclosed herein
On January 26,
2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with two accredited
investors, Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, (the
“Purchasers”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell and
the Purchasers agreed to purchase 400,000,000 shares of common
stock and 32,451,499 shares of Series B preferred stock of the
Company in exchange for $3,000,000 USD. Pursuant to the terms of
the Securities Purchase Agreement, Purchasers acquired a
controlling interest in the Company pursuant to the issuance of the
above shares which constituted 70.0% of the voting control of the
Company. Following the closing of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, Mr. Gerber and Schoenberger became officers and
directors of the Company.
On September 19,
2016, the Company entered into a conditional Stock Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated September 19, 2016,
with Wainwright Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Wainwright”) and certain shareholders of Wainwright
(the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Sellers
conditionally agreed to sell, and the Company conditionally agreed
to purchase, shares representing approximately 97% of the total
issued and outstanding common stock of Wainwright (the
“Wainwright Shares”). The Company intends to make an
offer to acquire the remaining Wainwright shares of common stock
prior to the Closing.
As a result of the
transaction, current shareholders of Wainwright will become
shareholders of the Company. Mr. Gerber, along with certain family
members and certain other Wainwright shareholders, currently own
the majority of the common stock in the Company as well as
Wainwright. Following the closing of this transaction, he and those
shareholders will continue to own the majority of the Company
voting shares.
Wainwright owns all
of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership
interests of United States Commodity Funds LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“USCF”) and USCF Advisers, LLC
(“USCF Advisers”). USCF is a commodity pool operator
registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. USCF
Advisers is an SEC registered investment adviser. USCF and USCF
Advisers act as the advisers to the Funds set forth in the
Agreement (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the
“Funds”).
The Closing shall
occur on the later of (i) the date that is two Business Days
following the date on which the last of the conditions to Closing
set forth in Articles VIII and IX of the Agreement have been
satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, waived by the relevant party, (ii) the 21st calendar
following the date on which the Definitive Schedule 14C was mailed
to the Concierge Shareholders, and (iii) such other time and date
as the parties may agree.
The conditions to
the Closing of the Contemplated Transaction are more particularly
described in Articles VIII and IX of Exhibit 10.1 which is attached
to the Form 8K submitted on September 19, 2016 and incorporated
herein by this reference. The conditions to the Closing include,
but are not limited to, the Company’s receipt of a Fairness
Opinion to the effect that, as of the date of the Agreement, and
based upon and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth
in such opinion, the Purchase Price to be paid by the Company
pursuant to the Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view,
to the holders of shares of the Company.
There is no
guarantee that the Closing of the Contemplated Transaction will
occur either as provided for in the Agreement or at all. There is
no guarantee that either the Company or Wainwright will fulfill all
conditions to Closing and that if not fulfilled, that either party
will waive the outstanding condition to Closing.
Any future
transactions by and among the parties mentioned above may qualify
as related party transactions and will be disclosed
accordingly.
We have adopted a
policy that any transactions with directors, officers or entities
of which they are also officers or directors or in which they have
a financial interest, will only be on terms consistent with
industry standards and approved by a majority of the disinterested
directors of the Board of Directors and based upon a determination
that these transactions are on terms no less favorable to us than
those which could be obtained by unaffiliated third parties. This
policy could be terminated in the future. In addition, interested
directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at
a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which
approves such a transaction.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of
Directors and Stockholders of
Wainwright
Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the
accompanying consolidated financial statements of Wainwright
Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries, which
comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31,
2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of
comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
Management’s
Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial
Statements
Management is
responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’
Responsibility
Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves
performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and
fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Wainwright
Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015
and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements
include Wainwright Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
consolidated 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, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Under the
Funds’ respective agreements, USCF and Advisers are
responsible for investing the assets of the Funds in accordance
with the objectives and policies of the respective Funds. In
addition, USCF and Advisers have arranged for one or more third
parties to provide administrative, custody, accounting, transfer
agency and other necessary services to the Funds and are
contractually obligated to pay for these services. The Funds are
contractually obligated to pay USCF and Advisers a management fee,
which is paid monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the
Funds.

USO pays a
management fee of 0.45% (45 basis points) per annum on its average
daily net assets. UNG pays a fee equal to 0.60% (60 basis points)
per annum on average daily net assets of $1,000,000,000 or less and
0.50% (50 basis points) of average daily net assets that are
greater than $1,000,000,000. USL, UGA, UHN, and DNO each pay a fee
of 0.60% (60 basis points) per annum on their average daily net
assets. From inception through April 30, 2010, the Company has
been charging UNL a management fee at a reduced rate of 0.60% (60
basis points) per annum of average daily net assets. Effective May
1, 2010, the Company resumed charging UNL its standard rate of
0.75% (75 basis points) per annum of average daily net assets. The

net assets since inception through April 30, 2010 has been waived
by the Company and will not be recouped from UNL. BNO pays a
management fee of 0.75% (75 basis points) per annum on its average

0.55% (55 basis points) of the average daily net assets from
TOFR’s inception until October 31, 2016. Advisers may
terminate the Expense Limitation Agreement at any time after
October 31, 2016, but upon not less than 90 days’ notice to
the Fund. The terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement may be
revised upon renewal, if renewed.
Management and
advisory fees are recognized in the period earned in accordance
with the terms of their respective agreements.
Marketing and Advertising Costs
The Company

exceed 0.15% (15 basis points) of the respective Fund’s
average daily net assets, on an annualized basis. USCF has no
obligation to continue such payments into subsequent periods. These
expenses totaled $760,973 and $854,085 for the years ended
December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in

Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, continued
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents. The Company places its cash with various high credit
quality institutions. At times, the Company maintains cash deposits
in excess of the United States Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation coverage of $250,000, but the Company does not expect
any losses.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable
consists of management fees receivable. Management fees receivable
generally consist of one month of management fees which are
collected in the month after they are earned.
Management closely
monitors receivables and records an allowance for any balances that
are determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2015
and 2014, the Company considered all remaining accounts receivable
to be fully collectible.
Investments
Management
determines the appropriate classification of investments at the
time of purchase based upon management’s intent with respect
to such investments. Short-term investments consist of equities and
money market funds. Short-term investments are classified as
available-for-sale securities. The Company measures the investments
at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value
reflected as unrealized gains (losses) in the accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss).
Long-term
investments consist of a $500,000, 10% equity interest in SFA
Holdings, Inc., an unrelated broker-dealer incorporated in the
state of Georgia, and a $980 investment in the U.S. Natural Gas,
L.P., a fund managed by the Company. The 10% equity interest has
been accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 325, Cost-Method Investments
(“ASC 325”). Under ASC 325, the Company evaluates
the investment for impairment annually, or more frequently if
circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. The Company
recognized no impairment losses in 2015 or 2014. The Company
recognized $0 and $24,000 of dividend income from
the SFA Holdings, Inc. investment in 2015 and 2014,
respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports
all changes in equity during the year, except those resulting from
investment by stockholders and distributions to stockholders, in
the year in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is the
total of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).
For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, other
comprehensive loss consists of unrealized losses on
investments.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s
short-term investments are carried at estimated fair value. In
determining fair value, the Company follows the guidance of FASB
ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, the
fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the
sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit
price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.

____________

Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, continued
Fair Value
Measurements, continued
ASC 820 establishes
a fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety:
Level 1 – Quoted
prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement
date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities, without
adjustment.
Level 2 – Quoted
prices in markets that are not considered to be active for
identical or similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active
markets of similar assets or liabilities, and inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data.
Level 3 – Pricing
inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is
little, if any, market activity for the investment.
Unrealized gains
and losses on investments resulting from market fluctuations are
recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on
a specific identification basis.
All short-term
investments, which include money market funds and equities, are
classified as Level 1 investments during the years ended
December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company has no Level 2
and 3 investments. There were no transfers between levels during
the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Short-term
investments are valued at the closing price reported on the active
market on which the individual securities are traded.
Income Taxes
The Company
accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases,
valuation of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, if
any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. If necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce
the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets until it is more likely
than not that such assets will be realized.
The Company
provides for uncertain tax positions using guidance which
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It provides
that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized
when it is more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the
effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of the accounting
standard and in subsequent periods. In addition, the accounting
standard provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition. The Company’s policy to recognize interest
and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2015-17, Balance Sheet
Classification of Deferred Taxes, to eliminate the
requirement to classify deferred income tax assets and liabilities
between current and noncurrent. The ASU simply requires that all
deferred income tax assets and liabilities be classified as
noncurrent. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.
Adoption of the ASU is either retrospective to each prior period
presented or prospective. As of December 31, 2015, the Company
early adopted the ASU.
In January 2016,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, to mainly change the
accounting for investments in equity securities and financial
liabilities carried at fair value as well as to modify the
presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December
15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASU is
retrospective with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings or
accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. The Company does not
anticipate that the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact
on its financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, continued
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements, continued
In February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in
this update create Topic 842, Leases, and supersede the leases
requirements in Topic 840, Leases. Topic 842 specifies the
accounting for leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish
the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report
useful information to users of financial statements about the
amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease.
The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the
recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for
those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP.
The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of the ASU will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes,
continued
Realization of the
deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income, if
any, the amount and timing of which is uncertain. Based upon
available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely
than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully
realizable for net operating loss and capital loss carryover.
Accordingly, management has established a valuation allowance
related to these deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance
decreased by approximately $1,248,000 during 2014 and decreased by
approximately $2,300 during 2015. The change in the valuation
allowance is due to the expiration of the deferred tax asset for
capital loss carryover.
As of
December 31, 2015, the Company had California net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $1,155,000 which will begin to
expire in the year 2024.
Federal and state
tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of the
net operating loss for tax purposes and credit carryforwards in the
event of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to
utilize these carryforwards may be limited as a result of such
ownership change. Such a limitation could result in the expiration
of carryforwards before they are utilized.
The Company had
unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) of approximately
$15,000 and $11,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014,
respectively, which would affect the effective tax rate if
recognized before consideration of the valuation allowance. The
Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur,
related to uncertain tax provisions as a component of tax expense.
There is no interest or penalties to be recognized for the years
ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company does not expect
its UTBs to change significantly over the next 12
months.
The Company files
income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various
state jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company
is subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company is not
currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service or other
similar state or local authorities. All tax years from 2010 remain
open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the
Company is subject to.
8.
Retirement Plan
The Company has a
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering employees of the Company who
are over 21 years of age and who have completed a minimum of 1,000
hours of service and have worked for the Company for one or more
years. Participants may make contributions pursuant to a salary
reduction agreement. In addition, the Company makes a safe harbor
matching contribution. Matching contributions totaled approximately
$70,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2015 and
2014, respectively.

employment separation agreement with one of its stockholders. The

totaling $4,389,066. Payments to the stockholder were made over the
course of 2015 and the final payment was made in July 2015. The
shares are included in Treasury Stock on the consolidated balance
sheet. As part of the severance agreement, the employee was
