CHASE PACKAGING CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

Chase Packaging Corporation (“the Company”), a Texas Corporation, previously manufactured woven paper mesh for industrial applications, polypropylene mesh fabric bags for agricultural use, and distributed agricultural packaging manufactured by other companies. Management’s plans for the Company include securing a suitable merger partner wishing to go public or acquiring private companies to create investment value for the Company. However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation and a reasonable understanding of the information presented. The Interim Condensed Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, previously filed with the SEC.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of June 30, 2017, results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

 

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is made to that report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

 

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

Going Concern

 

ASU 2014-15 – “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern—Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).” In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, starting December 15, 2016. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

Financial Instruments

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2019. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2021 and early adoption is permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For finance leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income; and repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable lease payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; a single lease cost will be recognized, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis; and all cash payments will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Under Topic 842 the accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments in Topic 842 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has been continuously assessing the impact of this guidance.

 

Stock Compensation

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplified certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2018. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-06 will be effective for the Company in its first quarter of 2019. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted.

 

 
7
 
Table of Contents

 

Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”); and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “new revenue standards”).

 

The new revenue standards may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company currently expects to adopt the new revenue standards in its first quarter of 2018 utilizing the full retrospective transition method. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $827,000 and $864,000 respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.

 

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. There was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of implementing this guidance. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

 

NOTE 4 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of common stock equivalents.

Table of Contents

 

We have excluded 40,447,000 and 37,424,000 common stock equivalents (preferred stock, warrants and stock options) from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively, which, if included, would have an antidilutive effect.

 

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES:

 

No current provision for Federal income taxes was required for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, due to the Company’s operating losses. At June 30, 2017 the Company had unused net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,183,000 which expire at various dates through 2037. Most of this amount is subject to annual limitations under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code related to “changes in ownership.”

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the deferred tax assets related to the aforementioned carry-forwards have been fully offset by valuation allowances, since it is more likely than not that significant utilization of such amounts will not occur in the foreseeable future.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and Texas state jurisdictions. Tax years for fiscal 2008 through 2017 are open and potentially subject to examination by the Texas state taxing authority.

 

The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

NOTE 6 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING:

 

On September 7, 2007, the Company completed a private placement, pursuant to which 13,334 units (the “Units”) were sold at a per Unit cash purchase price of $150, for a total subscribed amount of $2,000,100. Each Unit consists of: (1) one share of Series A 10% convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00, stated value $100 (the “Preferred Stock”); (2) 500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”); and (3) 500 warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The proceeds of $2,000,100 were allocated to the instruments as follows:

Warrants

 

2015 Extension of Warrant Terms

 

On August 31, 2015, 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants issued by the Company were modified to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2017. The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remain the same. The warrants modification expense of $14,684 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share, which was the contemporaneous private placement offering price. Assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model for these warrants were as follows:

 

Average risk-free interest rate

 

 

0.71 %

Average expected life-years

Expected volatility

Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The principal terms of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock were as follows:

 

Voting rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock has voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company’s common stock.

 

Dividend rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock carries a fixed cumulative dividend, as and when declared by our Board of Directors, of 10% per annum, accrued daily, compounded annually and payable in cash upon a liquidation event for up to five years, as well as the right to receive any dividends paid to holders of common stock.

 

 
10
 
Table of Contents

 

Conversion rights – The holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to convert any or all of their Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, at the option of the holder, at any time, into common stock on a one for one thousand basis.

 

Redemption rights – The shares of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, upon written notice by the Company to the holders of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at any time in the event that the Preferred Stock of one or more holders has not been previously converted. The Company shall redeem each share of Preferred Stock of such holders within thirty (30) days of the Company's delivery of notice to such holders and such holders shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock.

 

Liquidation entitlement – In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $100 per share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

At any time on or after August 2, 2011, the Holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Preferred Stock then outstanding could have requested liquidation of their Preferred Stock. In the event that, at the time of such requested liquidation, the Company's cash funds (in excess of a $50,000 reserve fund) then available to effect such requested liquidation were inadequate for such purpose, then such requested liquidation should have taken place (on a ratable basis) only to the extent such excess cash funds were available for such purpose.

 

Other provisions – There will be proportional adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

 

Effective June 30, 2012, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to an amendment to the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock which deleted the liquidation provisions. As a result, the Convertible Preferred Stock has been classified as equity (rather than temporary equity) in all filings beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

NOTE 7 - DIVIDENDS:

 

On October 29, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a ten percent stock dividend on its outstanding Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for shareholders of record as of November 15, 2016, and such shareholders received the stock dividend for each share of Series A Preferred Stock owned on that date, payable December 1, 2016. As of November 15, 2016, the Company had 30,215 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding; the total dividend paid consisted of 3,023 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which are convertible into 3,023,000 shares of Common Stock) with a fair value of $302,300 and a total of 14 fractional shares which will be accumulated until whole shares can be issued. Due to the absence of Retained Earnings, the $3,023 par value of Preferred Stock dividend was charged against Additional Paid-in Capital.

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had 33,238 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

 

The Company's 2008 Stock Awards Plan was approved April 9, 2008 by the Board of Directors and ratified at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on June 3, 2008. The 2008 Plan became effective April 9, 2008 and will terminate on April 8, 2018. Subject to certain adjustments, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2008 Plan is 2,000,000 shares. A maximum of 80,000 shares may be granted in any one year in any form to any one participant, of which a maximum of (i) 50,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of stock options and (ii) 30,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of Common Stock or restricted stock. The 2008 Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors. Employees, including any employee who is also a director or an officer, consultants, and outside directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The Three levels are described below:

 

Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;

 

Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

 

There were no transfers in or out of any level during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company’s balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

 

The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:

 

Cash equivalents at fair value — the Company’s cash equivalents, at fair value, consist of money market funds — marked to market. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy since they are valued using quoted market prices from an exchange.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 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.” This ASU provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40)”, which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Factors Which May Affect Future Results

 

Future earnings of the Company are dependent on interest rates earned on the Company’s invested balances and expenses incurred. The Company expects to incur significant expenses in connection with its objective of securing a suitable partner wishing to go public or acquiring private companies to create investment value for the Company.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting.
