 i 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 i 

Nature of Business

 

Veritas Farms, Inc. (“Company,” “Veritas Farms,” “we,” “us” and “our”), was incorporated as Armeau Brands Inc. in the State of Nevada on March 15, 2011. On October 13, 2017, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State changing the name from “Armeau Brands Inc.” to “SanSal Wellness Holdings, Inc.,” and on January 31, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State changing the name from “SanSal Wellness Holdings, Inc.” to “Veritas Farms, Inc.” The Company’s business objectives are to produce natural rich-hemp products, using natural protocols and materials yielding broad spectrum phytocannabinoid rich hemp oils, distillates and isolates. The Company is licensed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp on its 140-acre farm pursuant to federal law.

 

 i 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ending June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

 i 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Veritas Farms, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary 271 Lake Davis Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 i 

Estimates in Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

 i 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2021 financial statements to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on our net income/(loss) or shareholders’ deficit.

 i 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short and long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes 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 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

 i 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value. At times, cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $ i 250,000. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

 i 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.

 

The Company’s product revenue is generated primarily through two sales channels, e-commerce sales and wholesale sales. The Company believes that these categories appropriately reflect how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are impacted by economic factors.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

A description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

 

E-commerce sales - consumer products sold through the Company’s online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due prior to the date of shipment; and
   
Wholesale sales - products sold to the Company’s wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms vary and can typically be 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer.

 

The following tables represent a disaggregation of revenue by sales channel:

 

 i 
   For the six months ended   For the three months ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2022   2021   2022   2021 
Wholesale revenue  $ i 315,740   $ i 579,880   $ i 87,876   $ i 235,008 
E-commerce revenue    i 451,898     i 868,321     i 197,676     i 324,932 
Total revenue  $ i 767,638   $ i 1,448,201   $ i 285,552   $ i 559,940 

 

 / 
 i 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to production of inventory such as cultivation costs, extraction costs, packaging costs, security, and allocated overhead. Overhead expenses include allocations of rent, administrative salaries, utilities, and related costs.

 

 i 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of growing and processed plants and oils and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In evaluating whether inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, management considers such factors as inventories in hand, estimated time to sell such inventories and current market conditions. Write-offs for inventory obsolescence are recorded when, in the opinion of management, the value of specific inventory items has been impaired.

 

 i 

Property and Equipment

 

Purchases of property and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated economic useful lives of each class of assets and is computed using the straight-line method.

 

 i 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances suggest that the assets may be impaired or that the amortization period may need to be changed. The Company considers internal and external factors relating to each asset, including cash flows, local market developments, industry trends and other publicly available information. If these factors and the projected undiscounted cash flows of the Company over the remaining amortization period indicate that the asset will not be recoverable, the carrying value will be adjusted to the fair market value. The Company has determined that no impairment exists at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 i 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

 

Applicable U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other U.S. GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

 

The Company records a discount to convertible notes and convertible preferred stock for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument, if applicable. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to noncash interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related debt to their date of maturity. If a security or instrument becomes convertible only upon the occurrence of a future event outside the control of the Company, or, is convertible from inception, but contains conversion terms that change upon the occurrence of a future event, then any contingent beneficial conversion feature is measured and recognized when the triggering event occurs and contingency has been resolved.

 

 i 

Compensation and Benefits

 

The Company records compensation and benefits expense for all cash and deferred compensation, benefits, and related taxes as earned by its employees. Compensation and benefits expense also includes compensation earned by temporary employees and contractors who perform services similar to those performed by the Company’s employees.

 

 i 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of the share-based payments. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders.

The simplified method is used to determine compensation expense since historical option exercise experience is limited relative to the number of options issued. The compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line method over the expected vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other non-employees in the same manner in which it accounts for stock-based compensation for employees.

 

 i 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

In accordance with ASC 740, management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress for any open tax periods. 

 

Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company has analyzed tax positions taken for filings with the Internal Revenue Service and all tax jurisdictions where it operates. The Company believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

 i 

Leases

 

The Company has two leased buildings that are classified as operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of the agreement. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, (“ASC 850”) for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

In accordance with ASC 850, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include disclosures of related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary for an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

 i 

Impact of New Accounting Standards

 

Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements. 

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company starting January 1, 2024 and early adoption is allowed. The company is analyzing the effect of this standard.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has sustained substantial losses from operations since its inception. As of and for the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ i 36,018,149, and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $ i 2,087,435. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. A going concern disclosure means that there is substantial doubt that the company can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued. Continuation as a going concern is dependent on the ability to raise additional capital and financing until we can achieve a level of operational profitability, though there is no assurance of success.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Series A Preferred Shares have a stated value of $ i 1.00 per share. Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder thereof at a conversion rate of $ i 0.05 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, other recapitalizations and similar events, as well as in the event of issuance by the Company of shares of common stock or securities exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for common stock at an effective price per share less than the conversion rate then in effect (other than certain customary exceptions). In respect of rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the Series A Preferred Shares rank (a) junior to the Company’s Series B Preferred Shares; and (b) senior to (i) the Company’s common stock and any other class or series of stock (including other series of Preferred Stock) of the Company (collectively, “Junior Stock”). From and after the date of the issuance of Series A Preferred Shares, dividends at the rate per annum of eight percent ( i 8%), compounded annually, accrue daily on the stated value (“Series A Accruing Dividends”). Series A Accruing Dividends shall accrue from day to day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative; provided, however, such Series A Accruing Dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors and the Company shall be under no obligation to pay such Series A Accruing Dividends except as set forth herein. The Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company (other than dividends on (a) shares of Series B Preferred Shares; and (b) common stock payable in shares of common stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Articles of Incorporation) the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Share in an amount at least equal to the sum of (a) the amount of the aggregate Series A Accruing Dividends then accrued on such Series A Preferred Shares and not previously paid; and (b) (i) in the case of a dividend on common stock or any class or series that is convertible into common stock, that dividend per Series A Preferred Share as would equal the product of (A) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into common stock; and (B) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of a Series A Preferred Share, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend; or (ii) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into common stock, at a rate per Series A Preferred Share determined by (A) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series); and (B) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the stated value of the Series A Preferred Shares; provided, that if the Company declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of capital stock of the Company, the dividend payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Series A Preferred Share dividend. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any deemed liquidation event, (collectively, a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, after payment to all holders of Series B Preferred Shares of a liquidation preference equal to the aggregate amount of one hundred fifty percent ( i 150%) of the stated value of the Series B Preferred Shares and the amount of the accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares, but prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of Junior Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an aggregate amount per share equal to the stated value of the Series A Preferred Shares and the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. After the payment to all holders of Series B Preferred Shares of a liquidation preference equal to the aggregate amount of one hundred fifty percent ( i 150%) of the stated value of the Series B Preferred Shares and the amount of the accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares and to all holders of the Series A Preferred Shares the full liquidation preference hereunder, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Shares and Junior Stock, pro rata, on an “as converted basis,” determined immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, and the Series A Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to participate in such distribution of the remaining assets of the Company. The Series A Preferred Shares shall vote together with holders of Series B Preferred Shares and holders of common stock as a single class on all matters brought to a vote of shareholders. Each Series A Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to such number of votes as equal the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Share. The Series A Preferred Shares also contain protective provisions which provide that the Company shall not undertake certain transactions without the prior approval of the holder(s) of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares.

Business Overview

 

Veritas Farms, Inc. is a vertically-integrated agribusiness focused on growing, producing, marketing, and distributing superior quality, whole plant, full spectrum hemp oils and extracts containing naturally occurring phytocannabinoids (collectively, “CBD”). Veritas Farms owns and operates a 140 acre farm in Pueblo, Colorado, capable of producing over 200,000 proprietary full spectrum hemp plants which can potentially yield a minimum annual harvest of 250,000 to 300,000 pounds of outdoor-grown industrial hemp. While part of the cannabis family, hemp, which contains less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”), the psychoactive compound that produces the “high” in marijuana, is distinguished from marijuana by its use, physical appearance and lower THC concentration (marijuana generally has a THC level of 10% or more). The Company also operates approximately 15,000 square feet of climate-controlled greenhouses to produce a consistent supply of year-round indoor-cultivated hemp. In addition, there is a 10,000 square foot onsite facility used for processing raw hemp, oil extraction, formulation laboratories and quality/purity testing. Veritas Farms is registered with the Colorado Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp and with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to process hemp and manufacture hemp products in accordance with Colorado’s hemp program. The Company primarily conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 271 Lake Davis Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

 

Veritas Farms meticulously processes its hemp crop to produce superior quality whole-plant hemp oil, extracts and derivatives which contain the entire full spectrum of cannabinoids extracted from the flowers and leaves of hemp plants. Veritas Farms employs the use of the cold ethanol extraction method to extract the whole plant hemp oil from its hemp crop. Whole-plant hemp oil is known to provide the essential phytocannabinoid “entourage effect” resulting from the synergistic absorption of the entire full spectrum of unique hemp cannabinoids by the receptors of the human endocannabinoid system. As a result, Veritas Farms believes that its products are premier quality cannabinoids and are highly sought after by consumers and manufacturers of premium hemp products.

 

Veritas Farms has developed a wide variety of formulated phytocannabinoid-rich hemp products containing CBD which are marketed and distributed by the Company under its Veritas Farms brand name. Our products are also available in bulk, white label and private label formulations for distributors and retailers. These types of products are in high demand by health food markets, wellness centers, pet suppliers, physicians and other healthcare practitioners.

Veritas Farms products (50+ SKUs) include capsules, gummies, tinctures, lotions, salves, creams, balm sticks, lip balms and pet chews. All product applications come in various flavors and strength formulations, in addition to bulk volume sales. Many of the Company’s whole-plant hemp oil products and formulations are available for purchase online directly from the Company through its Veritas Farms website, www.TheVeritasFarms.com, as well as through other online retailers and “brick and mortar” retail outlets.

 

The branding of the Company’s line of hemp oil and extract products has enabled market penetration during 2021 and 2022 into large retail chains increasing brand exposure and awareness. The initial rollouts have been successful in creating distribution opportunities into thousands of new retail outlets across the country (over 8,000 retail outlets as of the date of this report). The shift from smaller order fulfilment to larger “Big Box” orders creates an economy of scale that offers the opportunity for the Company to achieve profitability.

 

Recent Developments

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On May 11, 2021 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with the Cornelis F. Wit Revocable Living Trust, of which Cornelis F. Wit is trustee (“Wit Trust”), an existing shareholder, pursuant to which the Company contemporaneously sold to the Wit Trust an aggregate of (a) 2,000,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Shares”); and (b) 1,000,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Shares,” and together with the Series A Preferred Shares, collectively, “Preferred Shares”) in exchange for (i) the payment of $2,000,000 (including $302,500 principal plus accrued but unpaid interest in bridge financing provided by the Wit Trust to the Company during April 2021); and (ii) the surrender of 2,000,000 Units (“Units”), each Unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock in accordance with the terms of the subscription agreements for the purchase of the Units entered into by the Wit Trust and the Company in September and October 2020. As a result of the transaction and the voting rights accorded the Preferred Shares, the Wit Trust then held approximately eighty eight percent (88%) of the voting power of the Company and accordingly, a “Change in Control” occurred.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, the Wit Trust and the Company agreed to fix the number of members of the board of directors of the Company at five (5), three of whom shall be designated by the Wit Trust and two of whom shall be “independent” and acceptable to the Wit Trust. In addition, the Wit Trust has been accorded certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and ongoing financial and other information rights with respect to the Company.

 

On September 30, 2021, the Company completed a private offering which commenced on August 5, 2021 of Series A Preferred Shares to certain investors, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (“2021 Private Placement”) in exchange for (i) the payment of $1,860,000 (including $1,644,068.49 principal plus accrued but unpaid interest in bridge financing provided by certain investors during April, July and August 2021 upon the conversion of the investors’ secured convertible promissory notes, and conversion of an account payable); and (ii) the surrender of 280,000 Units. The investors in the 2021 Private Placement included: Stephen E. Johnson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Johnson”) upon the conversion of $50,000 promissory note; Ramon A. Pino, the Company Chief Financial Officer (“Mr. Pino”) upon the conversion of $25,000 promissory note; Thomas E. Vickers, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors (“Mr. Vickers”) upon conversion of $50,000 promissory note and accounts payable; Kuno van der Post, a member of the Board of Directors (“Dr. van der Post”) in the amount of $50,000, and; the Wit Trust, in the amount of $65,931.51 and upon conversion of $1,500,000 secured convertible promissory notes and $19,068.49 in accrued and unpaid interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash. We have historically experienced negative cash flows and have relied on the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities to fund our operations. In addition, we have utilized stock-based compensation as a means of paying for consulting and salary related expenses. At June 30, 2022, we had working capital of approximately $1,534,679.

 

Cash decreased to $164,383 at June 30, 2022 from $481,763 at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to net cash used in operating activities.

 

As of June 30, 2022, total assets were $8,175,150 as compared to $8,597,840 at December 31, 2021. The decrease in assets is primarily due to a decrease in cash and property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation.

 

Total current liabilities as of June 30, 2022 were $2,623,646, as compared to $2,209,096 at December 31, 2021. The increase was mainly due to increases in dividends payable and deferred revenue.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,268,762 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $2,292,280 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is largely attributable to the increase in net loss attributable to common shareholders, and by changes in inventories, accounts payable, accounts receivable, deferred revenue and accrued expenses. 

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $23,621 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to net cash used of $37,158 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting a decrease in capital expenditures in 2022.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,927,761 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $2,689,810 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included net proceeds of $2,000,000 from a convertible note payable received from the Wit Trust. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included net proceeds of $803,994 from a loan received under the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program as part of the business incentives offered in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act received in February 2021, net proceeds of $86,895 from private offerings of our equity securities and $1,805,440 from initial closings under private placements.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources; Debt Obligations

 

Our primary sources of capital to develop and implement our business plan and expand our operations have been the proceeds from private offerings of our debt and equity securities and notes payable.

 

In March 2020, the Company received a $200,000 loan from a single investor, evidenced by a one-year convertible promissory note (“Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, which accrues and is payable together with principal at maturity. Principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Note may, at the option of the holder, be converted in its entirety into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalization transactions. On May 14, 2021, the Company paid $20,000 in accrued interest to the holder, and the Company and the investor extended the maturity date of the Convertible Note to September 6, 2021. In September 2021, the Company and the investor further extended the maturity date of the Convertible Note to October 1, 2022.

In September 2020, the Company commenced a $4.0 million private offering of up to 8,000,000 Units at a price of $0.50 per Unit, which private offering ended April 30, 2021. Each Unit consists of (a) two shares of common stock; and (b) one warrant, entitling the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 at any time through August 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2020, the Company sold 2,080,000 Units in the private offering for gross proceeds of $1,040,000 with offering costs of $154,965 resulting in net proceeds of $885,035. From January 1, 2021 through April 30, 2021, the Company sold an additional 200,000 Units for gross proceeds of $100,000 with offering costs of $13,105 resulting in net proceeds of $86,895. The terms of this offering provided that, if during the one-year period from the final closing of the offering, the Company undertakes a subsequent private offering of its equity, equity equivalent or debt securities (a “Subsequent Offering”), the investor will be entitled to exchange their Units purchased in the offering for an equivalent dollar amount of securities sold in the Subsequent Offering (based on the respective offering prices). The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors which states, among other things, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement covering, among other things, the resale of all or such portion of the registrable securities that are not then registered on an effective registration statement. As of September 30, 2021, all Unit holders converted their Units into Series A Preferred Shares.

 

On May 11, 2021, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares to the Wit Trust described under “Recent Developments” above, which generated gross proceeds of $2,000,000 (including certain bridge financing previously furnished by the Wit Trust to the Company in April 2021).

 

On September 30, 2021, the Company completed the 2021 Private Placement which commenced on August 5, 2021 of Series A Preferred Shares to certain investors, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares at a purchase price of $1.00 per share in exchange for (i) the payment of $1,860,000 (including $1,644,068.49 principal plus accrued but unpaid interest in bridge financing provided by certain investors during April, July and August 2021 upon the conversion of the investors’ secured convertible promissory notes, and the conversion of an account payable); and (ii) the surrender of 280,000 Units. The investors in the 2021 Private Placement included: Mr. Johnson upon the conversion of $50,000 promissory note; Mr. Pino upon the conversion of $25,000 promissory note; Mr. Vickers upon conversion of $50,000 promissory note and accounts payable; Dr. van der Post in the amount of $50,000, and; the Wit Trust, in the amount of $65,931.51 and upon conversion of $1,500,000 secured convertible promissory notes and $19,068.49 in accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the 2021 Private Placement and the voting rights accorded the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares, the Wit Trust holds approximately eighty eight percent (88%) of the voting power of the Company.

 

On October 12, 2021, the Company issued a secured convertible credit line promissory note in the principal amount for up to $1,500,000 (“Secured Convertible Promissory Note”), which Secured Convertible Promissory Note was issued to the Wit Trust. On March 9, 2022, the Company amended the Secured Convertible Promissory Note originally dated October 12, 2021 to increase the total available principal balance to $3,000,000. The Secured Convertible Promissory Note is secured by the Company’s assets and contain certain covenants and customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in an acceleration of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note. The Secured Convertible Promissory Note is convertible as follows: aggregate outstanding loaned principal and accrued interest under the Secured Convertible Promissory Note may, at the option of the holder, be converted in its entirety into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share. The Secured Convertible Promissory Note will accrue interest on the aggregate amount outstanding at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Secured Convertible Promissory Note, is due and payable, if not converted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note on the earlier of (i) October 1, 2024, or (ii) following an event of default. The Company determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature of $475,000 relating to this note which is being amortized over the life of the note, using the using the effective interest method. The note is presented net of a discount of $361,071 on the Company’s balance sheet with amortization to interest expense of $80,238 and $0 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022, $2,750,000 was outstanding on the Secured Convertible Promissory Note.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial losses from operations since its inception. As of and for the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $36,018,149 and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2,087,435. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Continuation as a going concern is dependent on the ability to raise additional capital and financing until we can achieve a level of operational profitability, though there is no assurance of success.

 

The Company believes that it will require additional financing to fund its growth and achieve profitability The Company anticipates that such financing will be generated from subsequent private offerings of its equity and/or debt securities. While we believe additional financing will be available to us as needed, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, when needed. Moreover, any such additional financing may dilute the interests of existing shareholders. The absence of additional financing, when needed, could substantially harm the Company, its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Capital Expenditures

 

Any amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately service any increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future.

 

Presently, we have approximately $20,000 planned for capital expenditures to further develop the Company’s infrastructure to allow for growth in our operations over the next 12 months. We expect to fund these capital expenditure needs through a combination of vendor provided financing, the use of operating or capital equipment leases and cash provided from operations.

 

Factors Affecting Future Performance

 

Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K sets forth risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. If any of these risks, or any risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not significant, develops into an actual event, then our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a disruptive economic and societal event that has affected our business and customers. As this crisis unfolded, we monitored conditions closely and adapted aspects of our business accordingly to meet federal, state, and local standards and to ensure the safety and well-being of our team members, while continuing to meet the needs of our customers. We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and adapt our business accordingly.

 

The adverse public health developments and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has adversely affect the Company’s business and operations, including its customers and suppliers as a result of quarantines, facility closures, closing of “brick and mortar” retail outlets and logistics restrictions imposed or which otherwise occurred in connection with the pandemic. More broadly, the high degree unemployment resulting from the pandemic has, and could potentially continue to lead to an extended economic downturn, which would likely decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products and services and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, global supply chain shortages and disruptions and inflation have emerged, which have impacted, and continue to impact, sales, margins and the pace of economic recovery.

 

While conditions do appear to be improving as vaccination levels rise and state and local economies have, for the most part, re-opened, the broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and related global economic unpredictability on our business, financial condition, and results of operations remain uncertain, particularly as vaccine efforts face challenges and new variants of the virus continue to emerge. At this time, we are still unable to accurately predict the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ultimate effect it will have on the broader economy or the operations and liquidity of the Company. As such, risks and uncertainties regarding COVID-19 remain. Please refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 10-K Report.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results require our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1: Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.

 

Please see Part II, Item 7 – Critical Accounting Policies appearing in our 2021 10-K for the critical accounting policies we believe involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

 

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

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

 

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 dispositions of the assets of our Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of our Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022 in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) identified the following two material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level in that:

 

(a) We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

(b) We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Documentation of our controls and the continued changes to assure segregation of duties are being performed. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We intend to take further steps to rectify these material weaknesses, subject to the availability of working capital to fund the costs thereof.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

As a result of COVID-19, our workforce continued to operate primarily in a work from home environment for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and we are monitoring our control environment with increased vigilance to ensure changes as a result of physical distancing are addressed and all increased risks are mitigated.
